Upcycle

So, your candle has burned its last flame. The wax is gone, the scent has faded, and now you’re left with an empty (but still gorgeous) container. Instead of tossing it, why not give it a second life? Here are some fun and functional ways to repurpose your candle:

1. Mini Planter for Succulents 🌱

Clean out the container, add some pebbles for drainage, and pop in a tiny succulent or herb. It’s the perfect size for a little greenery on your desk, shelf, or windowsill.

2. Stylish Storage for Small Stuff 🔮

Use your empty container to store:

• Jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets)
• Hair ties & bobby pins (because they always disappear)
• Loose change (hello, coffee fund!)

3. Aesthetic Office Organization ✏️

Tidy up your workspace by using the container to hold pens, pencils, paintbrushes, or even paper clips. Your desk just got a glow-up.

4. DIY Tea Light Holder 🕯️

Pop a tea light or small votive candle inside for a cozy, glowy vibe. 

5. Bathroom Beauty Organizer 💄

Keep things chic by using your container for:

• Cotton balls or Q-tips
• Makeup brushes
• Bath salts or homemade scrubs

6. Snack Stash 🍬

Fill it with mints, chocolates, or even your secret candy stash. Because who doesn’t love sneaky snacks?

7. Matchstick Holder (With a Strike Pad!) 🔥

Store matches inside and glue a strike strip to the lid or bottom. Now, you have a handy, stylish match holder for your next candle-lighting session.

8. DIY Gift Packaging 🎁

Need a cute way to wrap a small gift? Fill the container with homemade treats, a mini candle, or a handwritten note, tie a ribbon around it, and boom—instant thoughtful gift.

How to Clean Your Candle 

• Freeze it ❄️ – Pop the container in the freezer for a few hours, then gently remove the leftover wax.
• Boiling water trick ☕ – Pour hot water into the container, let the wax rise to the top, and scoop it out once hardened.
• Soap & scrub 🧼 – Wash with warm, soapy water to remove any residue.
