Take a brown paper grocery bag, fold it over two or three times and place it on top of the wax. Now take a warm, NOT hot, but warm iron and gently go over the candle wax, back and forth. The paper bag will act like a sponge. As the wax begins to melt, it will melt into the bag and most of it should come up.
One little problem: If the candle wax has a lot of dye in it, it can discolor a light-colored carpet. Unfortunately, there is not too much that can be done about that.
