if it is scented candles you can pop in into the top of an oil burner with a tealight under.

I give plain wax leftovers to my friend who uses it as firelighters for her open fire and it works fab.

Don't know how you could make a new candle though.

They are scented. what will happen if i put it in the oil burner? Will it just eventually lose its scent?

they just melt away and have a nice smell. eventually all the wax is used up. dont put too much in the top as when it melts could overflow
