I use the oven method as well. Some of my ways to reuse the jars are:
– spices, mints, matches, nuts, candy, pet treats
– hair ties, cotton balls, office/desk supplies
– gift containers, tea candles, loose change, bath salts
but if you have a big vase you can put empty jar upside down inside of vase and put large candl on top, the fill vase as desired. We did this for a wedding shower centerpiece. We had small stones in ours.

Cool! Now I want to buy candles in jars. Enjoyed the ideas video, too.
What about the wax itself? Can that be melted down and combined with other pieces of wax to make more candles? Some of these pieces of wax are still scented and can be recycled into more candles. Just seems like a waste to get rid of small pieces of scented wax. Any ideas?
i like that what you did
I’m gonna try the third method!
I tend to put spices on used jam containers…
you should be very careful rinsing the access wax, it could clog the pipes!
ah HA….that’s how you get them clean…super!
Thanks
If it’s a scent you love, use the freezer method and then you can chunk up the leftover wax and use it in a wax warmer.
The oven method is very wasteful: gas + that aluminum foil
Hi Melissa, I would want to know do they sell a pink spray like you use in the video and, about the paper towels I have been spending a lot of money for that for the dog’s piss in the house I did used cloth towel because I was out of paper towels I’m very tired of going back and forth buying more of paper towels so I wouldn’t use cloth towel because it smells and won’t remove the stain out of it after laundering. So, I thought of your cloth will it works for dog’s piss to clean it up and remove the odor stain out of it or is it for house cleaning purpose only?
I use the boiling water method to melt the wax and let it cool down and set. The wax will float to the top. I collect all the wax from used candles and combine to make new candles. You can buy candles wicks for this purpose. Just be careful with fragrances as you might not end up with a combination you like. Fragraced and unfragced work well especially if the perfume is quite strong. Pretty jars are useful tea lights holders.
q tip jar with the lid …great vid!
I use them as tea light holders in the garden
Cool Vid! Thanks!
My favorite candle jars are the apothecary-style jars. I buy a lot of dried herbs from the local whole foods store, but buying proper storage for them is a little expensive for me, so I like to store them in these tightly-sealed apothecary jars instead.
Might sound strange but I clean them all out and use them as drinking glasses
I was just wondering how to get candle wax out of my candle holder. This video was very timely. Thank you!
I literally just finished a candle and wanted to know how to reuse to jar….so helpful thanks a bunch!!!
my candle jars are those last for 20-30 min. it’s the smallest size of jar, I don’t know what can i do with it
Thanks so much. I used the freezer method and it worked so well. Not sure yet what I will use the empty jar for but I am sure to get some ideas from the comments.
For this suggestion: First, do not use a water type solution to clean out your old wax,
because – when a candle is lighted and has water on it, it will spit at you awfully.
Now, instead of throwing out that old wax, save it in a medium or large sized, empty,
clean, dry ‘vegetable’ or fruit can. When the electric goes out (as it does here in WV),
stick a wick or toothpick in the saved wax —
Viola — handy light or cooking source. ~ Nadene in WV
what brand is your electric teaport maker?
yes please need video for uses. i have done the freezer method and it was sooo easy. i have reused them to make home made candles and for makeup brush storage in the bathoom. i still have more that i need to find uses for. love the videos, keep them up
Cheaper using a microwave oven.
I hope you will do one on books!
I’ve been repurposing candle jars for years, I find that the microwave is much faster. I just pop it in for a minute or so, then wipe it clean with a paper towel. Depending on the type of microwave you have, you might have to remove the metal piece at the bottom (I use a knife) before you put it in you microwave.
If a macho guy like me is even suspected of having a candle jar, I’ll never hear the end of it!
Love it. thank you!!!
Great video!
