DIY Reuse Your Old Glass Candle Jars!

[charnelleb1]

I've been doing this for years. FYI instead of putting the glass container in boiling water, I have found that putting it in the freezer for an hour works well also. The wax pops out easy.

[slphufiu]

Thank you so much for this video! I just did the method detailed in the video and I LOVE my new jar! Thaks again!

[AlexandraBond]

[kitldy09]

[arl10144]

due to back problems I keep reuseable candle jars on my kitchen window sill... I store my brillow pads in one and auto dish tablets in another; the color of the items add color to my kitchen AND NO BENDING TO GET ITEMS FROM UNDER THE SINK

[okorolina]

i do this often - didnt know the containers can cost so much! thanks! you always give great ideas

[leesasofly]

This is a great idea, thank you for sharing :)

[MissJeriB]

[baa00000]

[StarSpell5]

good Idea, Thanks!

[NaturallyShawni]

Love the tip Nap! Thanks for sharing! I LOVE burning a candle too!!!

[Mrsprofessor1]

I totally save my jars and I Love this! 

[luvinlife225]

Great idea!!

[leneahunts]

I save my jars too, although I use mine for knick knacks, awesome great idea!

[gallowaygirl1998]

Putting the jar in the freezer also helps release the wax.

[nmc37]

Good idea- I always hated throwing these glass containers away, but I never knew how to clean them. Great tips.!!

[baylin10]

Good tips Nap.ive always tried to resuse the candle containers. I also reuse most of my hair product containers once Ive completed the product ..at least the larger rounded ones.Many labels are removeable and i can use them for hair pins, ouchless bands, cotton balls, q tips..whatever will fit ..the lids are secure when placed back on the containers and if youre reallly creative //add a little fringe for a truly girly look.

[BFFFL16]

cute cute!!

[madaleB]

Most of the labels say "Do not use as food containers" so be careful which ones you use.

[SoFisticadedLayD]

How cool! I would always throw them out... this would be good for Shea Butter!! Thanks!

[danarae4]

I am SO annoyed with myself. You make things seem so simple and make me feel so "DUH".LOL. Being a Bath and Body Works candle addict, I have thrown away HUNDREDS of perfectly good glass containers! Thanks for saving me from all my waste. I love your handy tips.

[lilia758]

Thanks for sharing! A great idea:o)

[Mslodoc]

Thanks for the idea. You're so clever. :)

[khenry9991]

Omggg I never knew how to get that last little but of candle out of the bottom!!! This is genius....thanks for being so informative!!!

[Naturalista22]

Thanks for sharing, great idea!

[nappiguistri69]

Great idea! I have some around the house that I just didn't want to throw out. now I know what to do with them. thanks for sharing as always. Just genius. Pretty smile at the end too. Happy Holidays!

[taurusfemale]

I'm so glad that I am not the only person who saved Glass jars. I've saved most of my jars to use as storages for my food, I cooked a lot and I have a lot of dry food so glass containers help me organized them without the clutter. Kudos.

[TiffanyMarmalade]

dude, you're a genius.

[KingsLeighLeigh]

I've always wanted to reuse my candle jar but could never find a way to remove the wax without it getting messy until now. Thank you! Now to figure out what to put in it...

[bellafab245]

That was awesome, thanks that was a great idea

[sadegibson2004]

[destined4blessin]

love love love!!!!

[Tangerinesorbet]

Thank you for this handy tip!

[drelle504]

What a fantastic idea! I'm staring at a candle jar right this second. This would make a cute jar for storing my homemade fudge for a friend's gift. Thanks, Naptural85! Merry Christmas!

[spiceness]

Very resourceful!

[lachelle225]

great tip never thought to use it afterwards

[TheGoldenRose25]

Well coincidentally I was cleaning my old glass jars out today ....;0)))))) I was going to make floral arrangements to put in some of them and some to put my make-up brushes in....;0)))))

[MelsharyA]

Great idea...i will never throw my candle jars away again.

[MzLockSteady]

Now that's some good info! Awesome idea!

[DaMeekz]

I thought I was the only one who did this hahaha I'm not alone yaaaaay!! Thanks girl!

[Ksnamaste]

Great tutorial never thought of re-using them. Thanks

[RifaiM]

funny I was just thinking about throwing away one of our glass candle holders yesterday, but remembered watching a show on recycling old things - so this is great now I know how to do it =)

[QUEEN1989E]

creative as always i thought i was the only one into reusing stuff aroud the house...lol

[SuthernGyrl99]

Did you make those gingerbread man cookies? They look sooo good :)

[Lissa0821]

This is a great tip!!!! I always hate to throw out my candle jars but could never figure out how to get the rest of the wax out.

[MochaKnitster007]

Great idea :-) I get the wax out by putting the jar in the freezer for a few hours and popping the frozen wax out with an old knife. I use this technique for candles in jars, tealights, etc. The freezer method works if candle wax spills on fabric too (like a tablecloth). P.S. folks: don't burn candles near anything flammable flowers, paper, photos, etc. (@Naptural85 - I figured you had them there just to make them look pretty in the video.)

[TekoaG]

"If you're young, please do not do this without supervision." Uh, but you're young! LOL!!! Like!

[Teetee554]

That was a really great idea. To bad I don't purchase candles in a jar. But I'll keep the idea in mind for the future.

[curlybliss]

Yes!!!!! Love this sis; thanks!!!!!

[sungbird2000]

good idea!

[cat3375]

Great tip, of course in my case, I'd probably have to burn my candles first! LOL Thanks anyway though!

[Mayakimball]

Another tip if the residue does not come completely off from the label is to use cotton ball and alcohol to wipe it away for a cleaner finish. It is quick and easy. Some use fingernail polish remover, not sure if it leaves a cloudy mist. Just an FYI.

[CandidAnn]

You Rock!

[ggirl471]

I also use mine as a makeup brush holder, pen/pencil holder and rooting a small plant to name a few things. I decorate the outside with ribbons and beads and no one knows anything.

[myzzio]
