Anusri Creations5 ways to reuse a concrete candle jar after the candle is done
A concrete jar is made to last. Once the candle is finished, the jar still has a long life ahead of it.
1. Small plant pot
Succulents and small indoor plants sit well in a sturdy jar. Check whether the jar has a drainage hole; if it does not, water lightly.
2. Pen and brush stand
A jar on a desk holds pens, pencils and makeup brushes, and the colour adds a calm touch to the table.
3. Bathroom or dresser organiser
Use it for cotton buds, hair ties or small accessories.
4. Candle refill
Keep the jar and fill it again with fresh candle wax and a wick if you like making candles at home.
5. Gift again
A clean jar with a small plant or sweets makes a thoughtful, low-cost gift.
How to clean the leftover wax
Place the jar in the freezer for an hour. The remaining wax usually lifts out easily. Wipe the inside with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, and let it dry fully before using it for a plant.
