How To Revamp And Reuse Candle Containers

February 26, 2021

Having candles around the house is the perfect way to create a cozy environment, especially when we find scents that tickle our fancy. A lot of candles come in beautiful jars and containers, so its always a shame to toss these out when the candle is all burned out. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to recycle these into something useful. Here are some ideas you can try out.

\"DIY

DIY Recycled Candles

First, you need to make sure you get as much of the old wax out of the container. You can first start out by trying to scoop out whats left with a spoon or knife. If this is too hard to do, you can try freezing the containers so that it is easier to remove the wax from the container.

Unless there is a lot of clean wax left over, it is usually not recommended to reuse any of the wax that you clean out of the containers, as they may contain soot debris that can be unsafe and isnt worth reusing.

Next, youll want to bake the container on a low heat until the wax softens up enough to easily remove from the jar. Make sure if you do that that the jar is heat safe!

\"Storage

Storage Containers

Place the containers face down on parchment paper a baking sheet and place in an oven thats at 180-190 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. With the aid of oven mitts, check to see all of the wax has melted downwards onto the parchment paper.

If not, repeat the process as needed. Wait until the containers have cooled down a bit, but while theyre still warm, wipe the inside of the containers. Remove any wax, wicks, and soot that may be left.

Candy Jars & New Candles

Before repurposing your candle container, make sure it is completely clean. Also make sure to check that it is not chipped or cracked, and if it is, dispose of it properly.

Allow the containers to cool completely. You can now use the containers as you wish! Some ideas include refilling the containers with wax and making your own candle, using them as plant holders, repurposing them to be tea light holders.

You can use them to hold your pens and pencils, as liquor glasses, candy jars, a place to hold spare change, and even as a toothbrush/toothpaste holder! This is when you can get as creative as youd like.
