I've heard that using a hair dryer on it while scraping it with a
razor blade will work, but in my own experience, it seems that
cutting it out is your best option. But try the hair dryer first.
Answer
This is a method my father used while he was custodian at a church
where candlelight services were common around Easter. Lay one or
two paper towels over the wax. Using an iron set on low heat
setting, no steam, gently iron the paper towels over the wax. If
you're careful, the wax will melt and be absorbed into the towels.
You can also use brown paper bags to absorb the wax. If you use
old towels or paper towels, make sure they are white or you risk
dye transfer onto your carpet. Depending on the size of the spill,
you may need to use several paper towels. I noticed that a thicker
more absorbent towel like Viva, works better. Once all or most of
the wax has been absorbed, use a cleaning brush to brush the carpet
(affected area).

will loosen from the carpet and stick to the paper towel. I haven't
had the problem on a fabric couch before, but it works on carpet.

Remove as much wax as possible by hand using a serrated knife to
help scrape the wax from the carpet fibers. Then take a brown paper
bag and cut a section that is twice the size of the affected carpet
area and place over the wax stain. Then take a preheated electric
iron set on medium and "iron" over the paper bag piece. The wax in
the carpet will melt and be absorbed into the paper. Several tries
may be necessary using fresh pieces of brown paper bag to get all
of the candle wax out.
