Re-using a Candle | 5 Ways

Everyone loves everything about candles right? The smell, the packaging... So why waste the packaging once the candle has burned out?  

I have got five different ways in which you use your candle pot once the wax has gone. All you need to do is wait for the candle to go and then clean out the pot and you are ready to reuse!

1. Loose Change 

Keeping your loose change in a candle pot is one of my favourite uses because there are so many ways of storing your money however I find a simple glass like this looks very cute and sophisticated on your makeup table or desk.   


















2. Bobbi Pins 


Bobbi pins go missing wherever you put them... However storing them in one of these looks adorable sat in the corner of your dressing table to create an chic look as the bobbi pins end up very messy and not neat when you chuck them in after a long day. 
















3. Everyday Makeup Brushes 

Even though all your makeup brushes won't be able to fit in here, I love putting my top 3 everyday ones. It takes me forever to rummage through my main pot in the morning trying to find the ones I need, therefore this saves a lot of time when I'm rushing. It can also look super cute if the brushes are the same colours and brand.














4. Lip Liners 


Depending on how many lip liners you own, I love having mine in these candle jars because they look so simple and cute. Although some candle jars don't hold the lip liners as well some other ones do, I find the primark candles work amazing for this lip liners!


















5. Cotton Buds 


Where cotton buds are dainty and small, candle jars are the perfect size and storage for them. I usually keep them in a drawer within my dressing table which requires more time to find in the mornings, whereas putting them in a pot means you can quickly whip one out when they're needed. 















I hope you somehow found this post useful because I love finding out different storage methods and I find it so fascinating when people come up with different ways of storing things rather than in your drawers and things like that!

What was your favourite method of using a jar out of these five?

Thank you so much for reading, see you soon.
