This is a great craft project.😄 But as a candlemaker, I do worry about the safety of people reusing wax without really testing things. ⚠️🔥For anyone that wants to do this, please make sure you are getting the right size wicks for the new jars you are putting the wax in. Wick size really effects the burn of the candle, as does the fragrance in the wax. Candles sold in stores are usually thoroughly tested to make sure the everything burns safely _specifically_ in the conditions/jar they are sold in. So, you're making entirely new conditions if the new jar is a different size or shape to the original one. If a wick you put in is too large for the jar, the flame could burn too large or wild and become dangerous. Also, the type of jar you use is very important as well. You want thick glass jars like the sellers use, or if you're using tins, use ones with no seams in the side. Happy crafting guys!😁🌻🌸🕯

Fastest method I just tried: Boil water in a pot, put the jar in, watch the ring around the wax, about 30 seconds and put a butter knife down the middle. Took out wax in 2 pieces.
yes yes yes.. this method is vert quick, as you are like just breaking the seal of the outer edge of the wax holding onto the glass, as soon as like you day see the edge start to go clear it will just release, then a quick knife or wide flat screwdriver to break it up a little. My method is just use a flat screwdriver, just go round the outa edges it will then just break up into smaller parts sometimes the edges are thicker so it just breaks up, the wick is stuck so that does not move until you are ready to take that out last :)
I use the freezer method. It comes out so clean and neat. This is the metho0d I tell all my customers to use. I use unique jars and vessels that make beautiful ho0me decor. Almost all have lids which are perfect for jewelry or other small items. My bigger vessels are nice to use for bathroom storage like cotton balls, etc.
an easier way to completely melt down the wax is to use a candle warmer! It's basically just a hot plate that you set your candle on, I used to use it to avoid having an open flame in my room :) I haven't tried making new candles before but I'm sure it would work just the same if you wanted to melt one down and pour it out
I've just started burning a candle during the day and I am ending up with a collection of pretty used up glass/metal containers with a bit of pooled wax in the bottom. Using a freezer is the best I think, as it doesn't require any more electric or gas usage which can drive up your gas/electric bill, and it comes out easily and more clean than other methods. I need to go look at your other videos now to see how to use old wax. I had in the past quite a bit of old wax that I had mixed together and melted. I was going to reuse it, but never got the wicks to do it, so ended up tossing it out. I am finding that purchasing candles without the container/glass is cheaper, because you are buying all that pretty glass. But if that is not important, look for bare candles and use your own candle holders/containers. Make sure they're for candles, as normal glass will shatter under high heat.
Excellent method - I've used the freezer method for years but I find I have varying degrees of success due to brand. I really want to try the boiling and oven methods
I’m just coming across your video….Thanks for the tips! I have a question. When you mix all your old wax to one jar to make a new candle how does the various fragrances mesh together?
Great video! As a candle newbie this was awesome to learn, I like two of the 5 methods: the hot water method and the freeze method, can't wait to try them out.
Am I the only person that removes all labels from candles,plastic containers, whatever I bring into my home and is not disposable. I think it improves the appearance of articles.
Thank you so much for the tips… I actually collect antique tea cups and saw a very old tea cup, very collectible on Etsy fir $8, sadly made into a candle. Dang me wrong, I’ve been making candles for years but sometimes crafters don’t realize what they are doing! I’m trying the oven method to see if I can get this candle to release before burning it since I don’t want tomorrow the old porcelain on the tea cup. I will let you know how it turns out! Meanwhile I will try your methods for my other candlemaking projects!
I have a couple of collectible teacups and saucers that I received from my mother-in-law. I made small succulent planters with two and use the other with a tea light. It looks beautiful when lit as the porcelain becomes iridescent.
A helpful and interesting video. I watched because I was wondering how to reuse old containers and whether I could use old wax. The comments were helpful too. I'm probably going to skip making candles for now, but at least I can get more use out of the holders. Many thanks!
Thank you very much for trying these out. I think I will try the freezing method. I am concerned about placing glass in boiling water or boiling water being poured over.
Hi! came across your video trying to clean out some candle holders. Thanks for the tips btw! Now I have a small container of wax melts I thought to reuse. The problem is they were stored in a bad place and are now full of dust crust and charred crumbled matchsticks. Did you ever figure out a way to strain out the dirt from the melted wax?
I use knife method but i boil kettle and dip my knife in for a few seconds to heat the tip of the knife , it then cuts like frreezer method but no wait time. I sometimes cut circle around wick disc, pop the rest wax out , so clean with and dark bits from wick left in the jar. Pour little of the hot water used to heat knife into jar to release sticky dot and wick base. Saves picking out dark bits . Fast ... done 20 jars in 12mins
I just kinda did your method without heating the butter knife. I circled the jar with the knife, cut the wax in 3 - 4 pieces, scoop out the wax. Sometimes the wick piece comes up, sometimes not, but can easily still be removed, all the little black specks come up easily as well, and can easily be shaved off with knife and discarded. You can still use hot water to clean jar if you decide to keep them. I knocked out 7 jars within minutes doing this method. And put used wax in a freezer bag for storage. Hope this helps anyone coming across this! Thanks 😊
I actually like the freezer method! I start projects only to forget them and move on to something else. The time in the freezer would be no big deal! 👍🏼 Good to know! 😊
@@CraftcoreDIY no prob. YOU earned that. I feel like people are SO quick to criticize and complain... but not complient.... I definitely do both lol HI5 on a job well done. Keep at it
An advice regarding parchment paper removal method, if you have candles that have different scentes & you are willing to use them, or if you don want one candle leftover to mix with another, or if you have a lot residue candle - I will just creating a some sort of parchment paper ''plates'' & put each candle jar onto it's separate ''plate'' so when you remove the jar you will be able to collect each candle separately & not have them all mixed together. basically line baking tray with aluminum foil, parchment paper just o case & on top that create several parchments paper ''plates'' for each individual candle jar, basically you can cut your parchment paper onto a square 20 cm x 20 cm place one candle jar upside down in the center of that square & then scrunch up the sides of that paper upward to kind of 'wrap' the sides of the paper around the jar just so the shape of the ''plate/bowl'' appears it doesn't have to perfect just make sure that the square is corresponding the size of the jar opening, big enough if you have a lot of leftover wax in the jar (if so make that ''plate taller'' I.e. use larger square.
This is great! I have used the boiling water methods (pouring the water in the jar and placing the jar in boiling water) but next time I am going to try the freezer method! I still have some wax residue on my glass jars even after washing with dish soap and water - any tips on getting that off? It's very minor but makes the glass look foggy/smudgy. Thanks!
Hi.. thanks for showing these methods.. can you please also show that once leftover wax is rescued it had lots of black bits and dirt..how can we get rid of that
I do a combination stovetop and boiling water; I melt the wax on the stove with water, I remove the wicks with tweezers and then pour the boiling water into the jar even though it’s already melted so I get a perfect round(you can also just turn off heat after removing wicks and do the freeze method from there
Hi - this is a really useful video. I just pop my candles into a warm oven (100 fan) and then after about 15-20 mins take them out and using oven mits pour out into chosen jar :-) its so easy ! :-) Also use this method to re-wick with a fresh one
This is glorious, I've been looking for "what containers are safe for candles?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (just google it ) ? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
I have a candle I just made (not used yet) but need to redo it from scratch. What would be the best way to completely remove an entire jar of wax? It’s soy/para blend so takes longer to melt that just soy. Someone said the microwave but I’m worried because of the metal wick tabs. Don’t want to ‘blow up’ my microwave lol
I don't wait to have that many. I prep a jar with the wick and add the melted wax as each candle ends. If I have a new candle with the same scent (or one that I like to combine or with), I pour it up to about the minimum length I need to burn the candle.
Here in Arizona we have summer rains which make for mosquito breeding grounds, so we burn Citronella candles for outdoor entertaining. The wick invariably disappears and digging it out is a PITA. Thanks for a nice video, eh!
Mine is normally number 5. But I start around the wicks first as they seem to be the weakest points but the oven technique does look as If it is worth a try as I do have and starting to build up a collections of jars
Once you take the wax out with the freezer method. then what? Do you add all the chunks in a jar add the wick and melt? or melt it all then add to a jar? help!
I cannot emphasize strongly enough that you should NEVER hold the candle glass in your hand while attempting to break up the solid wax. You run a serious risk of breaking the glass and cutting your hand. Instead, place the glass jar flat on the counter top or other hard surface. Otherwise, this was a very informative video.
I thought if I bought a candle making kit with the warming plate I could melt the wax in the jar. The warming plate knob is marked 1-5. I put it on 3. The glass candle container busted and started a fire with big flames. I pulled the plug and twice threw a kitchen towel over it. It was very scary. Glad I do well under pressure. The warmer still works but I only lost a towel and candle.
I think I preferred your original stove top method I bought my candles from target and they have very thick and angled glasses but my wick burns out too quick before I get to use most of the candle I'd like to keep the vanilla scent it still has for future uses maybeee
I just put real hot tap water in the jar. Let it sit maybe 5 minutes. Then took a knife and cut into the soft wax and it all came out in soft pieces. No fuss, no muss!
I was thinking fastest when u say freezing u still have to wait till it freezes but yes you can walk away and get back to it later which is still possibly faster. I enjoyed this video and the other... What do you do with the remaining candle holders?
I love that there is less "active time" working on it. :D I use the jars for storage mostly - my bathroom has a bunch on a shelf with hair ties, bobby pins, cotton balls, etc. You can apply vinyl decals as well to jazz them up or even just label them. I did have to recently purge a bunch because there were just too many, haha.
@@CraftcoreDIY I did the freeze with butter knife and it went better than expected kinda like cracking a chocolate bar. Also im trying to come up with different ways to do somethings with jars. I think im going to crush them if not but id need to ask around on that.
Freezer method did not work. Froze my bottled candle for 4 days. Wax did not budge. I was using a butter knife and a hammer to hammer through the wax but all it did was crack. Never separated from the sides, did not even try to come out in chunks. Gonna try the boiling water method.
Instead of waiting 5 hours i just used another bowl of hot water to heat the outside of the jar as well. Now you have hot water on the outside and inside of the jar. Within 30 minutes everything is done by pouring the water into bottle that i can throw away after it becomes hard.
I put a candle jar in an old glass pot. Place it directly on my glass top electric stove on low. Melt it for about 15 minutes. Pour into a dixie cup for later usage if not using right away. When ready to use tear right out of the cup. What do you use on the bottom of wick to hold it down? I've had problems with wicks floating to the top. HELP PLEASE!
Castile Soap. I can literally have an old burnt jar looking brand new using Castile Soap and a swipe of a paper towel! If it's super bad it might take 2 swipes. If you want you can then dry off with rubbing alcohol

Wow thanks for this insight! I was thinking about making some candles from old wax and this is a really important thing to know,
I use the leftover wax in my wax melt burner 💕
Would this be the same for candle holders?
I used hair dryer to melt the edges and then carefully use a butter knife to slide it out, done in few minutes
Fastest method I just tried: Boil water in a pot, put the jar in, watch the ring around the wax, about 30 seconds and put a butter knife down the middle. Took out wax in 2 pieces.
THIS WAS GOLD! Worked like a charm and unloaded wax from about 40 votives in 10 minutes!!!
I've tried them all and this is by far the fastest and easiest. Takes no time at all. My wax often comes out in one piece. Thanks!
yes yes yes.. this method is vert quick, as you are like just breaking the seal of the outer edge of the wax holding onto the glass, as soon as like you day see the edge start to go clear it will just release, then a quick knife or wide flat screwdriver to break it up a little.

I appreciate the methodical way this whole thing was presented. Kudos!

While the wax is hot just pour it out and then just take a paper towel and just wipe out the rest of the wax that's the easiest way to do it .

hello Craftcore DIY & Sewing How are you? where do you put the water from the candles?
it worked, I have tried the first way and it worked perfectly and it was very easy, and not messy.
Thanks for this video! Any tips on how to get candle smell out of the lid?
Vinegar?
Does washing ruin the label? The design is my favorite part and probably why I want to keep the jar.
I cannot emphasize strongly enough that you should NEVER hold the candle glass in your hand while attempting to break up the solid wax. You run a serious risk of breaking the glass and cutting your hand. Instead, place the glass jar flat on the counter top or other hard surface. Otherwise, this was a very informative video.
That makes total sense! Great advice!
The freezer methods always works for me.
FREEZER 👏.The residual wax n the sides n labels are the worse ..labor to get it off 😮 suggestions for easier was please
For the freezer method, how many hours do you leave it in the freezer?
I like the water method becuas you get cleaner wax as most of the burnt residue seems to stay on the bottom. Anyone have any experince with this?!

Use Goo Be Gone for residual wax, cleans off easily.

Why use scissors for the freezer method when all you have to do is turn it upside down smack on your hand and it comes out in one big chunk
Freezer method did not work. Froze my bottled candle for 4 days. Wax did not budge. I was using a butter knife and a hammer to hammer through the wax but all it did was crack. Never separated from the sides, did not even try to come out in chunks. Gonna try the boiling water method.
Instead of waiting 5 hours i just used another bowl of hot water to heat the outside of the jar as well. Now you have hot water on the outside and inside of the jar. Within 30 minutes everything is done by pouring the water into bottle that i can throw away after it becomes hard.

awesome video! thank you
Thanks

I heard you can just put it in the microwave for 2-7 minutes I usually use 5 minutes but if their is still some left I put it in for another minute 30
Castile Soap. I can literally have an old burnt jar looking brand new using Castile Soap and a swipe of a paper towel! If it's super bad it might take 2 swipes. If you want you can then dry off with rubbing alcohol
But how do you removed from stove top?? I also have a black stove top. Help!
