How to fix a tunneled candle with aluminium foil

While reed diffusers, room mists and fabric sprays are great, there’s something particularly comforting about candles. The slow release of a scent and the glowing flicker of a flame makes for the perfect day and night addition to any room. Unfortunately, though, we’ve all witnessed one too many candles going to waste thanks to tunneling.
Tunneling is when a candle burns down the centre, leaving a ring of wax around the rim of your candle jar. The more you burn your candle, the more the middle drops below the top-level of wax, resulting in wasted wax.The most common cause is not allowing your candle to burn for long enough – and once the ring had developed, it always seemed near impossible to fix.
But years (and a lot of wasted wax) later, we’ve discovered that the answer was sitting in your kitchen cupboard all along. Turns out aluminium foil is the key to fixing a tunneled candle quickly.
Simply wrap foil around the edge of the candle, leaving a hole in the middle so that the wick can burn through properly. After a couple of hours, your wax would have melted to an evened-out level. Even beauty editor Lucy Partington tried the hack and it worked brilliantly.
