Creative ways to repurpose candle glass jars
Today we’re sharing eco-friendly ways to save your glass candle jars once they run out of wax. Our 4oz candle jars are perfect for repurposing into useful and decorative items. With a little creativity, these containers can find new life in your space. Here are some fun and practical ways to reuse our glass jars:
Planters - You can never have too many plant pots, so re-using jars as planters for succulents or herbs (like basil or thyme) is a great idea - just add small rocks for drainage at the bottom, then add some potting soil. It’s a cute and eco-friendly way to save your jars. Tip: to remove the wax, place the jar in the freezer overnight then pop out the remaining wax, and wash with warm water and soap. Our labels are easily removable so you can reuse the jars!
Gift containers - Refill our 8oz bath salt glass jars with small treats, like chocolates or tea leaves for a personalized gift. It’s a thoughtful alternative to gift bags or boxes, and the bamboo lid adds a nice touch.
Everything jars - Everyone has that ‘everything drawer’ that accumulates random things. Why not throw your paper clips, receipts, or pens into jars instead? Their small size makes them easy to access, and you can stack them if you have more than one. Tip: place a piece of paper at the bottom if adding any pens or pencils.
DIY items - Make your own lip scrub with sugar, coconut oil, and honey. Store the mixture in the jar for easy access. This is a great way to reuse the glass while treating yourself to a little self-care.
Vanity storage - Perfect for throwing cotton balls, q-tips, and even jewelry in. The frosted jars work great as mini makeup brush holders. Tip: label each jar to make it easier to find what you need :)
