At Soy Delicious, each of our candles is crafted with care. They’re designed to fill your space with captivating aromas and leave you with a beautiful, reusable glass jar once the candle has burned its last flicker. Instead of discarding these jars, why not give them a new life? 

Here’s how you can transform your empty Soy Delicious Candle jars into something beautiful and functional.

Preparing the Candle Jars for Repurposing

Before reusing the candle jars, you must prepare them properly. 

Cleaning the Jars

Once your candle has burned to about half an inch of wax, it’s time to clean the remaining wax. 

• Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours, making the wax harden and shrink.
• Use a butter knife or spoon to pop out the last bit of wax.
• After removing the wax, wash the jar and lid with warm, soapy water to remove any residue.

Removing Labels

To remove the candle jar label, soak it in warm water for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive. For any stubborn spots, rubbing alcohol or vinegar should do the trick. Just take care not to scratch the glass.

Safety Precautions: Glass jars can be slippery when wet, so handle them carefully, especially when cleaning. Also, be cautious when removing wax to avoid any sharp edges.

Creative Repurposing Ideas

With your jars sparkling clean, it’s time to get creative. Here are some inspired ideas for reusing your Soy Delicious Candle jars.

Home Décor

• Mini flower vases: Your empty candle jars make perfect vases for small flower arrangements. Whether you opt for fresh blooms or dried flowers, these mini vases add a touch of elegance to any room. 
• Succulent planters: Your candle jars are just the right size to house these plants. Fill the jar with some soil and a small succulent, and you have a stylish, low-maintenance planter. Group a few jars together for a chic, minimalist display.
• Tea light holders: Repurpose your jars as tea light holders for a soft, ambient glow. The glass creates a beautiful, diffused light, perfect for setting a relaxing mood in your living room or bathroom.

Storage Solutions

• Vanity organizers: Keep your vanity neat and organized using candle jars to store makeup brushes, cotton pads, or jewelry. The jars’ sleek appearance adds a touch of luxury to your daily routine, making your beauty essentials feel even more indulgent. And with the original lid, you can also protect items from dust.
• Office supplies: Tidy up your workspace using these jars to hold pens, pencils, paper clips, or other desk essentials. Not only will your desk look more organized, but the jars will also bring a bit of elegance to your office environment.

DIY Gifts

• Homemade beauty products: Fill your cleaned jars with scrubs, bath salts, or body butters. These make thoughtful, personalized gifts that are both beautiful and practical. The lid adds a professional, polished finish, making these gifts even more special and practical. Tie a ribbon around the jar or add a custom label to complete the look.  
• Craft kits: For the craft lovers in your life, use your jars to package small craft supplies like buttons, beads, or embroidery threads. It’s a fun and creative way to share the joy of crafting with others.

Eco-Friendly Living

• Reusable planters for kitchen herbs: These jars are perfect for growing small kitchen herbs like basil, thyme, or parsley. The open-top design allows for easy watering, and the glass lets you see the roots, which adds a nice visual element to your kitchen.
• Beverage glasses: Repurpose the jars as stylish drinking glasses for your home. They’re perfect for serving cold drinks like iced tea, lemonade, or cocktails. The glass’s weight and quality give a sense of luxury to everyday beverages.
• Snack containers: Use the jars as open-top containers for snacks like nuts, candies, or dried fruit. The lid helps keep snacks fresh, making it perfect for storing treats on your kitchen counter or coffee table for easy snacking.
