Can I use old candela, and how do I melt them down?
The way I melt my old candles is by breaking them into pieces with a knife and melting them in an old sauce pan on very low heat. You can stir them once they're no longer solid, this helps the melting process.
Once its liquefied, make sure to have prepared a glass/porcelain conatiner with a wick, in which you'll be pouring the candle into. When your candle is dried, you can either leave it in the container or take it out. To take it out, leave it in the freezer for 7 to 10 minutes, so it can loosen and slide right out.

Wow good tip Found out that I have a lot of old ones, which I think would make some lovely new candels. Can I use a normal string or do I need special ones?
