This is Part 5 of an introduction to how I make votive candles in my house. I realize that other people do things differently, but this is the way I do it. The purpose of a candle is to be lit and burned, so they do not need to be perfect, most people don’t care. So I’m sort of a sloppy, candle maker. Anyway, enjoy and I truly hope you learn something, or want to learn more, if you do, leave a comment.
Oh yeah, this is totally unscripted I ad-lib all the time. So enjoy. Thanks.

I don’t want to throw them away. There is probably enough wax in these jars to make at least 3-4 votive candles If I wanted to melt this down and use a candle mold to reshape it and add a new wick what would be the best way to do this? Specifically heating/melting the wax.
Use an electric candle warmer. Buy them at dollar stores, etc., set your jar on it, turn it on, and enjoy the fragrance. Some of the candle warmers actually soften the wax enough to get it out, too.

I found gold silver spray paint for candles online, but not silver. Can I use normal spray paint?
Where can I find silver spray paint for candles?
Spray paint may not be your best solution. It can work okay, but if you get any overspray on the top of the votive, or on the wick, it’s going to crackle and smoke. I’ve been making candles for about 8 years now, so trust me when I tell you that you have to take care with decorations! I found this website for you, though – http://www.walltowallstencils.com/paints/candle.php – and here’s some information that might help:
"Paint products specifically made for painting on candles and soap are now available. Candle and Soap Paints can be purchased for painting directly onto candles and soaps. If you already own a ton of acrylic paints and don’t want to invest in more paints, you can simple buy one bottle of candle and soap painting medium (both Delta and DecoArt manufacture this product). Simply mix equal parts of the candle and soap medium with acrylic paint and then stencil."
They sell metallic acrylic paints at any local craft store, and even at places like Wal-mart. A little goes a long way, especially on small candles like votives. Hope that helps!Good luck!

Is the style of your home hip and contemporary? Or maybe your style is more warm and traditional? The lighting in your space is perhaps the most important element to define your style.
