Hello again!
Today is day 2 of my 30 days of DIY 'event' (can I call it an event?)! Today I'm going to show you how to repurpose a candle jar! There are so many things you can do with these candle jars! I absolutely love it!
For the sake of my sanity, I am going to split the candle Jar DIYs up, because come on, 30 DIYs is a lot!
The first one I just used to spruce up my desk. I bought some blue stones at Dollar Tree and filled it up with those! An easy pop of color! You could do a bunch of these to add to someone's holiday décor (or keep them for yourself!).
What you need:
- An old candle jar (I got this candle from Dollar Tree)
- Nail polish remover or acetone
- A knife or other sharp object (optional)
- Rocks or decorative beads
First you need to stick your candle in the freezer for an hour or 2. This solidifies the wax so it is easier to remove.
Once you take the candle out, you will need something to help you get it out of the jar. I simply used a pocket knife and broke it into chunks.
Once the wax is out of the jar, just wash it out. It's that easy!
The tough part comes when you're removing the label. The best way to get the sticky residue off is to use some acetone or nail polish remover. It seriously comes off like butter!
Isn't this the cutest little jar? It adds the perfect accent to my desk at work!
This is a quick and easy DIY project! The plus is you can personalize it as much as you want!
Let me know what you think!
