- Have a sticky drawer issue? Remove the drawer and rub a candle on the runner. Place the drawer back inside the compartment and you should be good to go. Another enjoyment, a beautiful scent every time you open your drawer! PS—this process can also be used on sticky and squeaky doors by rubbing a candle on the hinges.
- If you’re going camping, pack along some of those trick birthday candles. If you are having issues lighting a fire or stovetop, the candle should keep relighting itself and save you from using tons of matches.
- If the plastic ends on your shoelaces come off, simply dip the ends in melted candle wax and let dry.
- If you have various candles that are scent-friendly, burn down some of the wax and pour it into various containers and insert a wick into each to make your own candles.
- Rub a candle over your weather address labels to prevent them from smearing.
- A wide candle makes an ideal pincushion. The wax will help pins and needles glide more easily through fabric, too.
- Dip tips of pinecones in melted wax to create a beautiful home décor piece. Use cinnamon and vanilla scented wax and place your pinecones in a vase on your table for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
- Tie up pieces of fragrant candle wax in cloth and put it in dresser drawers, hampers, etc. for a nice (and not overbearing!) fragrance.
- Stuff toilet paper rolls with lint from your dryer and tip them in candle wax for awesome fireplace starters.
