Recycling Candle Wax

The wick on my Pumpkin Pie Yankee Candle was burned down to the bottom, but there was still a good amount of wax left. There's no way I could just throw out precious Yankee wax, so I did a little research and used it to create this candle. Melt the wax, pour it in, and when it has firmed up a little, insert a birthday candle for the wick and hold until it's set. You may want to trim the birthday candle at the bottom to get the right height.
