Candle pots?

6 replies

What do with them when the candle's done? There's only so many pencil pots you need.

Refills would be good but mine are all different sizes. The little Baies one I have donated to oh as the little Yankee candles fit in it and he likes his home office smelling nice.

Any ideas?

I started off trying to melt down and add wicks but failed.
I recycle them now 😳

I've melted down the remains and have the little discs of wax in the freezer for when I get a tart burner (eventually).

I use two Diptyque for sample sized perfumes storage. A couple of squat amber ones and a tin one I’ve turned into plant pots. Yankee style ones I just recycle as their shape isn’t that great for reusing I don’t find.

Use them as tealight holders?

Put them in the recycling. Have enough shit in my house.

Pen pots
Baby bud holders
Tealight holders - good for the summer if you use the candles that keep the bugs away (supposedly!)
Toothpaste holders

I pretty much reuse mine as storage pots.
