Wax on Wax off
OR
"How to get candle wax out of your carpet with minimal damage to everything else in the vicinity."
The paper bag/warm iron trick really does work BUT depending on how much wax (in my case almost 3 cups worth) you'll need a lot of paper bags and a lot of time.
NOTE: When picking up the iron to put a new piece of paper bag down - try not to smack it into the glass front of the most expensive (and nicest) piece of furniture you own - cracking it. Really really try hard not to do that.
