An idea for savings, but also a creative game. Let&#8217;s discover how to make candles<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>An article on how to recycle candles? It&#8217;s the right time of the year! After Christmas, you will surely find many wax &#8220;leftovers&#8221; at home, perfect for creating personalised and unique DIY candles! Candles are a must-have during the holiday season. Their pulsating light warms the home and hearts, making everything more magical and intimate. <strong>Light <\/strong>has always contained precious symbolic meanings for mankind, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/liturgical-accessories\/liturgical-candles-important\/\">in particular for Christians<\/a><\/strong>, who see in it the first manifestation of God&#8217;s will (&#8220;<em>And God said: Fiat lux!, let there be light. And there was light<\/em>\u201d, Gen 1:3)\u00a0and identify Jesus as the <em>\u201clight that brightens the world\u201d<\/em>. A round candle decorated with red berries, bows, Christmas balls, sugar sticks, natural pine cones or painted gold or silver will become a perfect centrepiece for the Christmas table. But what happens when the holidays are over? In this article, we want to suggest how <strong>to reuse the wax from candles used<\/strong> during the holidays to create new DIY candles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4840 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/12\/Setting-the-table-at-Christmas-plus-many-DIY-ideas.jpg\" alt=\"Setting the table at Christmas plus many DIY ideas\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"DIY Candles: How to recycle leftover wax during the holidays\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=4838\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/christmas\/setting-the-table-at-christmas-plus-many-diy-ideas\/\">Setting the table at Christmas: plus many DIY ideas<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThe table of the Festival is a symbol of welcome and family intimacy.

Suitable for the standard Tealight 12 gr.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How to melt wax<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, let&#8217;s learn how to <strong>melt wax<\/strong>. A seemingly trivial operation, but it is better to use some tricks to avoid getting burned and ruining something. Few things are as obnoxious to remove as melted wax! For this reason, it is better not to use the stove at home to melt it, but to get <strong>an electric plate or a field stove<\/strong>, to avoid nasty surprises. Before melting, the candles and wax must be cut into pieces. A trick to facilitate this step and leave them in the <strong>freezer<\/strong> for a quarter of an hour, or twenty minutes: they will become fragile and easily reduced to flakes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4843\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/12\/How-to-melt-wax.jpeg\" alt=\"How to melt wax\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-kale-share-title=\"DIY Candles: How to recycle leftover wax during the holidays\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=4838\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also concerning <strong>saucepans<\/strong>, use old ones, intended only for this new use. Moreover, get <strong>wooden ladles to<\/strong> keep stirring the wax and keep it liquid. If you use different saucepans, you can dissolve the melt in <strong>different colours<\/strong> separately, and then mix them to create evocative effects. You can also use pans equipped with a <strong>spout<\/strong>, to facilitate the transfer of molten wax, and cover the inner walls with <strong>tinfoil<\/strong> to limit damage.<\/p>\n<p>Before placing the wax, heat two fingers of <strong>water<\/strong> in the saucepan, bringing it to a boil. Then add the wax, which will be kept more fluid with this technique. The wax must melt completely but remain at a temperature below 175\u00b0. You can also colour the wax using<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/consumable-material-consumables\/lamp-liquid-wax\/liquid-wax-colourings\"><strong> colourings<\/strong><\/a> and add scents with <strong>essential oils<\/strong> or better yet with <strong>orange or lemon peels<\/strong>, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and so on. In addition to making the wax fragrant, homemade candles will also be decorated originally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4844 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/12\/wax-colourings.jpg\" alt=\"wax colourings\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"DIY Candles: How to recycle leftover wax during the holidays\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=4838\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/consumable-material-consumables\/lamp-liquid-wax\/liquid-wax-colourings\">Liquid wax colourings<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Colourings for liquid wax, every single bottle of colour is sufficient to colour 1 litre wax.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the wax melts, take the container you have chosen and glue the <strong>wick<\/strong> to the bottom, insert it into its metal base. You can use any type of strong <strong>glue<\/strong>. Attach the lanyard so that it is perpendicular to the container using a pencil, clip, or stick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pour the liquid wax into the container<\/strong>, layer after layer, to avoid irregularities or depressions on the surface. Each layer will take about <strong>4 hours to dry<\/strong>, and you can make layers with different colours, or keep the same. When even the last layer is dry your candle will be ready! To speed up the drying and cooling of the wax, you can immerse the container in cold water. When the candle is dry you can easily extract it from the container you used as a mould.<\/p>\n<h2>DIY scented candles with essential oils<\/h2>\n<p>We have mentioned the possibility of creating scented candles, using what you have at home (citrus peels, spices) or scented essential oils. A DIY scented candle can be a very original gift for both Christmas parties and any other occasion. But where to buy <strong>scented oils<\/strong> to make scented candles? In our online store, you will find excellent ones, mostly produced in the monastery of Camaldoli, such as 100% pure<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/monastery-products\/cosmetics-essential-oils\/essential-oils\/essential-oil-lavender-real-bio-cosmos-10-ml-camaldoli\"> True Lavender Essential Oil<\/a><\/strong>, made by the<strong> Ancient Pharmacy of the Camaldolese Monks <\/strong>with ingredients of completely organic origin and from controlled biodynamic crops.
