So recently I've gone through a lot of Yankee candles and I kind of have a little obsession with them. Personally I favour these candles over any others, because the scents are so strong and fill not only the whole room, but the entire house! Also they have such a wide variety of scents, so it's certain that there will be something for everyone's taste. But what do we do with the big glass jars left over once the candles are burned out? Just throw them away? No!! I have come up with many ways to re-use them and they genuinely look really pretty. The best part about this is that it's so so easy and simple.
First you will need to wash out the jar and get rid of any left over wax. Then decorate the jar with felt, ribbons, buttons, gemstones, fabrics and just anything you can think of to make it tie in with the room your putting it in. I have a few examples below:-
As you can see I've kept my jars very simple, all I wanted on them was a ribbon. Obviously you can make them much nicer and spend more time on them, but I liked mine like this. Clearly I have been using my jar as a vase for some flowers, however before that I had makeup brushes in there which looked really good. Some other ideas are to put in bobbles and clips, pens and pencils, nail varnishes etc...
Please send me the pictures of what you've done with your jars! I'd love to see them!!
