Have you ever found yourself admiring the last bit of wax left from your cherished Highland Candle Company candles? Well, good news! Leftover candle wax from our coconut and soy wax can be transformed into something magical. Here we explore the top 5 creative uses for your leftover candle wax, ensuring that no drop goes to waste!
Why Waste Not?
Before diving into our top 5 tips, let’s take a moment to appreciate the eco-friendly nature of reusing candle wax. By finding new uses for leftover wax, you’re not only giving a new life to what would be waste, but you’re also embracing a sustainable lifestyle that’s close to our heart here at Highland Candle Company.
Top 5 Creative Uses for Leftover Candle Wax
1. DIY Scented Wax Sachets
Transform your leftover candle wax into delightfully scented wax sachets! These little bundles of joy can freshen up your wardrobe, drawers, or car. Melt the wax, pour into small moulds, and add a few drops of essential oils if you desire. Once they harden, wrap them in pretty fabric for a charming and fragrant touch.
2. Custom Wax Seals for Letters
Get crafty with your correspondence by creating custom wax seals using leftover candle wax. Melt the wax and pour it onto the envelope flap, then press a seal or a unique stamp into the wax before it hardens. It adds a personal and elegant touch to letters and invitations.
3. Make New Candles
Combine leftover wax from different Highland Candle Company candles to create your unique blend. Gather bits of ‘Cairngorms‘, ‘Ness‘, ‘Skye‘, and ‘Ullapool‘ and melt them together over time building the wax up into a full candle. Pour into a previously used candle glass, along with a wick, and enjoy your new, custom candle creation. It’s a delightful way to mix and match your favourite scents!
4. Create Wax Art
Unleash your inner artist with leftover candle wax. Melt different wax colours and use them to paint on canvas or cardboard. As our candles are mostly white, if you don’t have any dye, you can add a small piece of crayon to make it the colour of your choice. This is a fun activity for all ages and a great way to express your creativity.
5. Natural Fire Starters
Soy and coconut wax make excellent fire starters. Pour melted wax over pine cones or in egg cartons filled with dryer lint. These natural fire starters are perfect for your next camping trip or a cosy night by the fire.
