Granulated Wax Uses

You can buy granulated wax in packs and use them to create unique shapes of candles, provided you are creative in your choice of containers.

You can also use the granules to refill old, used candles that are contained in some form of container. If you fill those up with the wax particles, they will melt and blend with the old one and in essence become one (and big once again).

Some scented granules are strong enough to stand as potpourri. Add them in an open container and leave them in a room. You will find that the unlit scent can hold its own. They can also be mixed with traditional potpourri as a sort of scent refresher. Just add them to the mix instead of scent oils, and you have instant refills.

Finally, scented granulated wax is used to form candles. Granules are easier to melt, and because some granulated wax already comes pre-scented, you save an entire step in making scented candles. Melt the granules as you would with the wax, and follow with the succeeding steps (adding a wick, cooling, forming into shape, etc.). Read More.
