5 Creative Ways to Repurpose Old Candle Jars: Reduce Waste and Add Style to Your Home!

If you're someone who loves candles as much as we do, you probably have some old candle jars lying around your house. Rather than letting them collect dust or throwing them away, why not repurpose them instead? Not only is it a great way to reduce waste, but you can also create some unique and beautiful new items for your home. Here we will share with you some fabulous ideas for how to repurpose old candle jars.

1. Flower vase

Clean your jar thoroughly and fill it with water for a charming flower vase. You can even add some decorative stones or beads to the bottom for an added touch of glamour.

2. Makeup brush holder

Use your jar to keep your makeup brushes organised and easy to access. You can even paint or decorate the outside of the jar to match your bathroom decor.

3. Storage container

Small candle jars are perfect for storing small items such as jewellery, change or even snacks. Use a label maker to label the jars for even easier organisation.

4. Candle recycling

Use the last bit of your old candle wax to create a new candle. Melt down the wax, add in a wick and some new fragrance oils and pour into your cleaned jar for a brand new candle!

5. Toiletry container

Keep your cotton balls and Q-tips organised on your bathroom counter by using your candle jars as gentle storage containers. 

There are a variety of ways to repurpose old candle jars and we encourage all of our customers to reuse our concrete candle jars when their candles are finished. Don't let these beautiful vessels go to waste. Get creative with them and turn them into something beautiful and useful for your home.
