1 Turn Them Into Vases for Centerpieces — An ideal choice for taller glass candles without lids is to turn them into vessels to house your pretty, seasonal centerpieces. Tie them in ribbon, paint them with chalk paint or wrap them in twine for a clever way to display fresh buds or faux sprays.

2 Turn them Into Miniature Planters — Old candle jars can make excellent new homes for greenery whether you’re planting an indoor herb garden or an elaborate, live centerpiece. You can get extra crafty by drilling small holes in the bottom to allow water to pass through.

3 Turn Them Into Desktop Lights— With solar-powered LEDs, you can basically turn any vessel into a sweet, light-up desk display, night light or decoration. String a few self-contained, LED twinkle lights in your jar for a dazzling light show.

4 Make DIY Snow Globes— Everyone loves a snow globe! If you’re working with candle jars with lids — the best kinds for crafters, by the way — then you can turn your old collection into glittery globes for the kids.

5 Use Them as Storage Containers— Nothing serves as a more fitting and useful storage container than an empty candle with a lid. In fact, our large jar candles are among the very best candles-turned-storage-containers out there! Use them for literally anything — craft stuff, pet treats, cotton balls, makeup brushes, whatever.

6 Make Them Into New Candles — Nothing compares to the heavenly scent of a long-burning candle that’s been expertly mixed for your enjoyment, but you may appreciate the craft of making your own candles too. Repurposing your old jars gives you a convenient place to pour your fun new scents.

7 Create Your Own Apothecaries — Body scrubs, creams, balms, you name it. Mix it up and package it in your small, empty candle jars and you’ve got yourself a pro-looking apothecary worthy of praise! These little mixes make perfect small gifts and favors for parties, weddings and showers too.

8 Turn Them Into Candy Jars — Everybody loves a candy jar! Fill yours with individually wrapped hard candies to set around the house or display them in groups for the candy buffet at your wedding or special event.

9 Turn Them Into Votive Jars— We already know you love candles, so why not use your old, empty jars as showcases for the small tea lights or votive candles you have lying around the house? Fill your jars with pebbles, sand, seashells or anything else that sparks the imagination, and top them off with scents to match.
