Arrange the Candle Containers Onto a Baking Pan

Arrange the jars upside down

David Fisher
Once the container is as clean as you can reasonably get it (don't spend TOO much time scooping - just get out most of it), place the container on top of 1-2 sheets of brown or parchment paper (to absorb the wax) on a cookie sheet, baking pan or other shallow container.

Make sure that pan or cookie sheet is solid enough to steadily hold the weight of the containers as you're putting it in and out of the oven.
