The exact process will depend on what candles you’re working with and what shape they’re in. Have candle scraps that are already free from their holders? You can skip this step entirely.
If some of the wax is still stuck, try jostling it with a popsicle stick or chopstick to loosen it, then repeat this process again. If you’re only recycling unscented candles of the same color, you can skip right to Step 3. If you’re recycling a whole mess of different candles at once, stop and consider whether you might want to separate them into batches.
