I just throw my old candle wax into a crock pot, that I got at a yard sale, and when there is enough, I turn it on and wait for the wax to melt. I also bought a ladle at a garage sale to use just for this purpose. I like the idea of the pan that pours out, but haven't run across one yet. I have been recycling candles for a couple of years.

The wax shrinks a bit and leaves the container neatly. I have found that putting those almost empty votives in the freezer for a half hour makes the last bit of wax easy to pop out.

Just take your hot glue gun and glue one side of the clothespin, laying on its side to the ruler. Make sure that the clip end of the clothespin extends over the side of the ruler. Also, make sure that the clothespin will open/close before the glue dries. Then, lay the ruler across the top of your candle jar with the clothespin clip holding your wick. Let me know how it works!
