Freezer Burn.

It's a sad day when a candle burns out...but it also means a new craft is waiting to be born!


There are a lot of different techniques to get wax out of a jar but we use and recommend the freezer method!  It's easy, quick and foolproof!

Put the jar in the freezer.


After an hour or so, take it out and use a butter knife to pop out the wax.  
Most of the time it will pop out easily but sometimes you might have to work at it a bit.


Remove any excess wax with a paper towel before rinsing and cleaning.


Candles. 
The gift that keeps on giving.
