IYKYK: A Diptyque candle is just too pretty to throw out.
But don’t fret: It is possible to breathe new life into that awkward wax-clad container.
You don’t need any special equipment whatsoever.
This will cause the wax to melt and rise above the water.
Wax shrinks when it is frozen, allowing it to separate from the walls of its container.
Boiling water
This method works best with wide-mouth candles.
Add boiling water into your candleleaving an inch of space at the topand let it rest.
Oven
This method is good if you have multiple candles to handle at once.
Begin by preheating your oven to 150 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place your candle(s) upside down on a sheet of aluminum foil on a baking pan.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven, and take the glasses off the pan using an oven mitt.
Leftover candle wax can be used to make new candles or used in wax melt warmers.
Just be careful not to burn the tag and ensure the candle is on a safe, heat-proof surface.
When it is liquefied, you’re free to use a paper towel toremove the excess wax.
