Re-use Your Empty Candle Jars

If you’re a true candle fanatic, you’re bound to have empty candle jars piling up! Clean them up & put them to use . . . here’s some ideas:

• Collect spare change in the jar throughout the year, then give away at Christmastime as a “Christmas Jar” to someone in need.
• Add dry cookie/brownie/hot cocoa mixes and give away as gifts.
• Store sugar, flour, spices, etc. in them – especially great with our baking line jars.
• Fill with candy to keep on your desk or give away as a gift.
• Use as a unique vase for a flower arrangement.
• Use it in the bathroom as a decorative way to store cotton balls, q-tips, etc.
• Fill with potpourri and use as decoration.
• Use as a unique “holder” to burn tealights in
• Votive holder: fill with sand or marbles, place a straight glass votive holder in the center with a votive.
• Storage for buttons, craft items, etc.
• Use to mix salad dressings.
• Pen & pencil holder.
• Put permanent markers inside & put the lid on (26oz size jar) to keep away from children.
• Sponge paint the outside & use as a gift.
• Use as “luminaries” that won’t blow away.
• Store puzzle pieces when the box gets ruined.
• Emergency Chocolate Jar. Add chocolate candies and give as a gift to only be used in case of emergency (or keep for yourself!)
• Fill with items, especially natural things, with unique textures to add to your decor (see below picture, taken from 2009 Inspired Spring Gold Canyon catalog)
