Turn candle bottles into utility items in the house
Fragrant candles are a favorite item of many families because of their pleasant aroma and beautiful design. However, after the wax burns out, many people choose to discard the jar. In fact, these are items that can be reused in many different ways, helping to save costs and reduce the amount of waste into the environment.
One of the most common ways is to use a candle bottle to make a new candle. Users only need to add beeswax or soybean wax with their favorite essential oils to create a completely new candle.
Candle bottles can also be used as makeup brush boxes, pen holders, small flower vases or places to store makeup remover cotton, cotton swabs in the bathroom. Beautifully designed glass bottles help the living space become neater and more aesthetic.
Many people also use candle jars with lids to store tea, coffee or small items commonly used daily.
Create green space and take care of yourself from old candle jars
Not only serving storage needs, candle jars can also become mini plant pots for juicy plants or green vegetables grown on window sills. This is a simple solution to create more green space in the house without spending much money.
In addition, sealed jars are very suitable for storing homemade exfoliating mixtures made from sugar, coconut oil and natural essential oils. This method helps take advantage of old items and limit the use of disposable plastic boxes.
According to Ms. Kate Crofton-Atkins - founder of the Cochine candle brand in the UK - before reuse, users should completely remove any remaining wax in the jar. A simple tip is to put the candle jar in the freezer overnight. When the wax shrinks, it will be easier to remove.
From making new candles, planting trees, arranging flowers to storing personal belongings, seemingly discarded candle jars can be completely "revved" into useful items. This is also a practical way to build a green and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
