King James Version (KJV)
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
For my last birthday I received a Scentsy brand plug-in tart warmer. It's a pretty cross design that blends into my kitchen well, and it's central location scents the kitchen, living room, and dining room well. So I pretty much love it. It came with one of their "Grab Tabs" that help remove the tart from the warmer once you're ready to change it out. The tab is basically a long piece of plastic that is bent to fit down into your warmer. It worked really well and I highly recommend them. Except when you run out of them, and really want to change out your tart. So I had an idea for a common household replacement - and it works wonderfully! Wonder what it is? Packing tape!
Here is the rundown:
First, make sure your tart is hot and fully melted!
You'll only need packing tape, scissors, and a toothpick.
Use the scissors to cut the tape. Make it about 8" long.
With the sticky side up, fold over approximately 1" of each end
to make handles.
to make handles.
With sticky side still up, center the tape over your melted tart.
Use the toothpick to GENTLY press the tape down into the melted wax.
Be careful not to splash the hot wax and burn yourself!
Turn off your warmer (if you already hadn't) and let the tart cool down with the tape still in place.
Wait until the tart has fully cooled and turned back into hardened wax.
Gently pull up on the handles of the tape,
and your tart will pop out perfectly!
and your tart will pop out perfectly!
Your tart comes out in one perfect piece - easy to throw away, and your
tart warmer is clean and ready for a new scent!
I hope you're having a wonderful week!

This is a great idea. I stocked up on Scentsy grab tabs a year ago, but probably won't get more when those run out. Using tape is a safe, easy, cost effective way to remove the wax. I also wonder if using a twistie tie might work. I usually put my bowl with melted wax in the freezer, too, then use the grab tab as a handle to lift the wax out of the bowl. So tape or a twistie tie would probably work as well.
