How to Reuse Your Old Candle Containers?

Your favourite scented candle is nearing the end, all it’s perfectly fragranced wax has vaporised over countless evenings of cosy enjoyment, and you’re left with just the empty vessel. A beautifully decorated, elegant container that you’re in love with almost as much as the scent it once produced.

Of course there’s no need to worry, there are plenty of great ways to reuse your old scented candle containers.

Turn Candle Jars Into Plant Pots

Old scented candle containers are the perfect size to become your latest leafy addition’s new home. With our current obsession with succulents and pretty much every other plant out there, we almost don’t have enough old candle jars – that really is saying something!

Because of the need to use brown soil, most people tend to choose amber or coloured glass candle jars for planting, however clear jars are great when growing in water.

Tidy Your Vanity Area

What better way to keep your beauty space organised than to upcycle your favourite scented candle glass jars? Larger candles make perfect holders for make-up  brushes, eyeliners and pencils, while small candle containers make great places to keep cotton wool pads or bobby pins.

A Vase For Flowers

Flowers & candles make us happy. Repurposing your old candles and using them as vases for some fresh blooms is the ideal way to reuse them.

Pencil Pots For Your Desk

Your unlikely to find us at our desk without a calming candle lit, so it makes sense that when all the wax has been used up we’d recycle the candle jars to make pretty pots for our stationary!
