If you have a wax or paraffin candleNever throw it away. There are several reasons. First, consecrated candles brought from the church should not be thrown away. Their garments are taken back to the temple. Secondly, unburned household candles can still be useful to you and save a little money. How exactly, we tell further in the article.



Let’s start with the fact that the garments of ordinary candles need to be folded into a separate box. When you collect enough, you can find useful applications. Where will old candles come in handy? You can make a new original candle from the lights.



You only need a few old candles and a new wick (a thick thread can be used as a wick).

1. The first thing to do is to paint wax or paraffin in a water bath. Tie the thread to a stick or pencil, moisten in paraffin and drop into a container that you will use under a new candle.
2. The melted mass can be mixed into a homogeneous mixture and poured into a jar. And you can divide the colors and pour gradually, layer by layer, then you will get a multi-colored candle.

If you use a container without a neck, then the candle can be removed and put on the candlestick. The diameter of the candle will depend on the size of the jar. In melted wax you can add your favorite essential oil, then you will get a homemade aromatic candle. It will be useful in the bedroom or bathroom.



If you add lavender oil, mint, orange or cloves to the candle, then you will not only fill the room with a pleasant aroma, but also scare away persistent mosquitoes in the summer.

Grind the candles, place them in a glass container with a lid and pour everything with kerosene. Close the jar tightly and insist on the mixture for a week until a thick homogeneous mass is formed.

The finished mixture should be applied with a brush or spatula on a surface covered with rusty spots. Then you need to wait at least two hours. Then everything is easy to remove with a hard brush or scraper. It just softens the rust.



Also, an old candle can easily become a raw material for a tourist burner. You will need old wax candles (food paraffin), a cardboard box and a tin can. Cut the cardboard into pieces or stripes and lay on the edge tightly (at your discretion) in a tin.

In addition, from garments can be made material for lighting a fire or fireplace. You will need a pair of old candles, sawdust or wooden shavings (cones), as well as cardboard or a tray of eggs.
