If you’re a candle lover, you know the bittersweet feeling of reaching the end of a candle. There’s still a bit of wax left at the bottom, but it’s not enough to burn properly. Instead of tossing that leftover wax, why not repurpose it in creative and sustainable ways?
At Vibe & Glo Candle Studio, we believe in making the most of our products while keeping things eco-friendly and waste conscious. Here are some easy and fun ways to give new life to your leftover candle wax!
Just because your candle won’t burn anymore doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy its fragrance! Turn leftover wax into wax melts for your warmer or tea-light burner.
How to Do It:
✔️ Remove any remaining wax from the jar (see tip below)
✔️ Melt it down using a double boiler or a microwave-safe container
✔️ Pour the melted wax into a silicone mold (ice cube trays work great!)
✔️ Let it cool and harden—then pop them out and use them in a wax warmer!
💡 Pro Tip: To remove wax from the jar, place the candle in the freezer for a few hours. The wax will shrink and pop out easily!
If you have multiple candles with leftover wax in different scents, you can combine them to create a brand-new, one-of-a-kind candle!
How to Do It:
✔️ Melt the leftover wax from different candles
✔️ Pour each scent in layers into a new, clean jar (letting each layer harden before adding the next)
✔️ Add a new wick and secure it in the center
✔️ Let it fully set, then enjoy your custom-blended candle!
💛 Fun Idea: Try mixing complementary scents like vanilla and lavender or citrus and mint for a unique fragrance!
Wax holds onto fragrance even after the candle stops burning, making it perfect for freshening up small spaces like drawers, closets, or even cars!
How to Do It:
✔️ Place a small piece of wax in a breathable fabric bag (like a muslin pouch)
✔️ Tuck it into your dresser drawers, linen closet, or car console for a subtle, long-lasting scent
💡 Pro Tip: For extra fragrance, warm the wax slightly with your hands before placing it in the pouch.
Bring a vintage touch to your letters or invitations by using leftover wax to create beautiful wax seals!
How to Do It:
✔️ Melt a small amount of wax onto the envelope flap
✔️ Press a stamp, coin, or even the bottom of a textured glass into the wax while it’s soft
✔️ Let it cool and harden for a unique, elegant seal
💛 Perfect For: Wedding invitations, love letters, or adding a special touch to gift wrapping!
Believe it or not, wax is a great natural lubricant for fixing stiff zippers or stubborn wooden drawers that don’t slide smoothly.
How to Do It:
✔️ Rub a small piece of wax along the zipper teeth or drawer tracks
✔️ Move the zipper or drawer back and forth a few times to distribute the wax
✔️ Enjoy the smooth glide!
Leftover wax can help you start a fire quickly and naturally—perfect for outdoor fire pits or camping trips!
How to Do It:
✔️ Dip cotton balls or dryer lint into melted wax
✔️ Let them dry completely
✔️ Store in a small bag and use them to light a fire with ease
🔥 Great for: Backyard fire pits, camping, or cozying up with an outdoor bonfire!
