Re-cycled Candles


Here ares some re-cycled candles I have made.

They are not perfect but I have reused oil-burner Tarts that have been used and lost their perfume (mostly Yankee Candle Tarts).  I mixed my left over Tart wax together then added wax dye to colour them.  I dipped my wicks and poured one colour into the mould.  I then had to wait for the wax to dry before adding the next colour.

I love the affect of the green underneath.
