Before we get started, a couple quick notes:
For safety reasons, you should stop using a candle once ½” of the wax.
To get a little more life out of your scented candle before cleaning the jar, use an electric candle warmer. Pro tip: look for 2-in-1 candle and wax warmers that allow you to use candles directly on the plate or wax melts in a dish.
Be sure to clean out any remaining soy wax before reusing and repurposing a used candle jar.
Once it’s clean, here are 21 different ways to reuse and repurpose a candle jar:
