RE-PURPOSING THOSE OLD CANDLE JARS –
There are many ways to re-purpose your finished candle jar to continue getting value for your product. Re-using your jar also helps our environment.
Follow these simple instructions on how to clean the jar before re-purposing:
- Peel off any stickers and place the candle jar in the freezer overnight.
- Using a butter knife, lift the leftover wax out of the bottom of the jar. The wax should have pulled away from the edges of the jar making it easier to lift out in one go.
- If the wick tab remains stuck to the bottom of your jar, use your fingernail or a spoon to remove it.
- Clean the jar with warm, soapy water.
- Polish the jar with a clean towel and it is now ready to be re-purposed.

- Lolly jar
- Pen or Pencil holder
- Trinket jar or make-up brush holder
- Store cotton pads, cotton tips or cotton balls
