Creative Ways to Reuse Your Candle Jars | Eco-Friendly Living

At Amalia & Co., we believe that every part of our candles should be as beautiful and sustainable as the scents themselves. That’s why our candle jars are perfect for reuse — not just recyclable, but reusable in countless stylish, practical ways.

Here are our favourite ideas for giving your candle jars a second life:

1. Mini Plant Pots
Give your space a pop of green by turning empty jars into chic homes for succulents or herbs. Just add soil and a small plant — they make great desk or windowsill companions.

2. Bathroom Storage
Tuck away cotton pads, reusable face rounds, or hair ties. Clean jars add a minimalist touch to any bathroom or vanity space.

3. Desk Organisers
Store pens, makeup brushes, or little stationery bits. A tidy desk is a peaceful mind — and our jars make it look good, too.

4. Tealight Holders
Place a tealight candle inside and fill the base with dried flowers, Himalayan salt, or even crystals for a dreamy little glow.

5. Eco-Friendly Gift Jars
Add handmade bath salts, loose-leaf tea, sweets, or small gifts — perfect for birthdays, wedding favours or thank-you gestures.

How to Clean Your Candle Jar
Remove any leftover wax by placing the jar in warm water or freezing it for easy wax removal. Wash with mild soap and allow it to dry completely.
