Glade Candle Jar Repurpose

This project started out as trying to show a variety of ways to repurpose glade candle jars. Instead, I got inspired to decorate a set designed to go together. I think they turned out super cute!

It is really simple to do. Once your glade candles have burned down to practically nothing, it is easy to remove the left over wax. There are several ways to do it, but this is the way that has worked best for me. Heat up some water in a tea kettle. Set out your candle jars and peel off the labels while you are waiting for the water to heat up. Once the water is ready, pour it into the jars leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. The wax will eventually loosen and work its way to the top. If it doesn’t start to float, carefully separate it with a plastic knife. If you have sticky residue, just wipe it away with some Goo Gone.
There are so many things you can do with your jars at this point! I gathered some twine, sequin strands and my hot glue gun. Originally I was just going to make one covered in twine and one in sequins. As I set the jars next to each other I loved the way the materials looked together, so I decided to make a set. What do you guys think? I can’t decide whether I want to keep them or sell them on my Etsy shop. As always, check out the links below if you want to make your own!
