🌎 Cute n eco-centered? Count me in! We couldn’t let Earth Day pass without sharing our really cute n easy way we repurpose those used candle vessels lying around.
🌵Is it ready to repurpose? You’ll know when there is 1/4-1/2” of wax left at the bottom of your candle vessel.
🌵Pour hot water from your tea kettle in your candle vessel. Let sit for 1 hr.
🌵By now, a small wax top will have formed at the top of your candle. Carefully, but firmly pop out the hardened wax top and discard, along with the wax water in a safe way (not your sink- learned this the hard way!)
🌵Wipe out your vessel and hand wash with a free and clear soap.
🌵Find a 1-2” succulent or string of pearls from your local plant store to pot your next desk friendly, low maintenance plant baby.
These also make perfect additions to your windowsills, bathrooms, or bookshelves. Have you repurposed our candle jars? I’d love to know!
