Candles from wax scraps

I've started saving all my candle scraps to make into new candles. Here are 4 I made today.
Here's everything you will need, jars, wicking, metal base, old pan for double boiling and candle scraps.   Tea cups would make a pretty candle holder too.  I get my supplies at Ben Franklin. (wick-metal tabs) They are very cheap.  Everything else is recycled.  If you google candle making you will get many results.   The glass pan I use is one I picked up at a thrift store and I use it only for candle making so I never have to clean it out.   I was getting tired of all the wasted candles, especially when I had over half the candle left.
