Instead of using a pot with water I just set them in the oven on a cookie sheet on a low temp to melt the wax. It also makes the house smell all pretty in the process. :) I have also done what another reader did with using another wick but I combined the melted wax from other candles into one with the new wick. :) Makes for some interesting candles and scents. :)Sonshinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04853563088171290394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32625344.post-66780981767640528842008-03-21T14:59:00.000-05:002008-03-21T14:59:00.000-05:00Donna,<BR/>Thanks for your idea! That would cut out the whole pouring stage which can get a bit messy, so I'll have to try that out!

I have so many old jars of candles that can't be used. Great pictures too, by the way. I love Frugal Fridays!Jenny Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10700702221274152352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32625344.post-86298527717596688782008-03-21T09:05:00.000-05:002008-03-21T09:05:00.000-05:00This is a great suggestion. What I usually do is melt the candle in the pot of water, same as you. Then I remove the candle from the water. Once the wax is just cool enough, I place a wick in the center, the wax is stiff enough to support the wick and keep it centered. I now have a candle to continue to use. Once the candle burns down to the point that I can not salvage any more wax, then I save the glass jar and use it (usually to store candy, M&Ms and jellybeans and such). <BR/><BR/>I just came across Frugal Friday.
