Give Your Vessels a Second Life: Creative Ways to Repurpose Your Candle Jars and More!

We know you love our candles, but what happens when they're all burned out? Don't toss those beautiful vessels! They're too gorgeous to go to waste. We're here to help you give your candle jars (and other product containers) a second life with these creative repurposing ideas.

Prepping Your Vessel for Reuse:

Before you can unleash your creativity, you'll need to clean your vessel. Here's how to remove any leftover wax, soap, bath salts, sugar scrubs, and those pesky labels:

Removing Leftover Wax from Candle Vessels:

• The Hot Water Method: Boil enough water to fill your candle jar, then carefully pour it into the container, leaving about an inch of space at the top. The hot water will melt the remaining wax. Let the water cool completely, and the wax should solidify on top. You can then easily remove the wax "disc." Pro Tip: This method works best for soy wax blends.
• The Freezer Trick: Place your spent candle jar in the freezer overnight. The next morning, remove the container and flip it upside down. The wax should pop right out! If it's being stubborn, use a spoon or butter knife to gently loosen a corner of the wax.

Cleaning Other Product Vessels:

• Soap: Simply wash any remaining soap from the vessel with warm water.
• Bath Salts & Sugar Scrubs: Wash away any residue with warm, soapy water.
• Labels: Warm, soapy water is usually the most effective way to remove labels. Soak the jar to loosen the label, then peel it off. For any stubborn sticky residue, try a paste of baking soda and oil.
