DIY Recycle Your Bath and Body Works Candle Jars


If you are like me and you love candles (especially those from bath and body works) then you are going to love what i am about to show you.  I don’t know about you but i have always loved the  bath and body works container/jar the candles come in.

Today i am going to show you how you can recycle the jars!

Candle Jar

Its pretty simple really, once you’ve used up the candle pop the jar in the freezer for a couple of hours. The cold atmosphere shrinks the wax which makes it super easy to remove from the glass.

However some pieces of wax do remain but nothing plain old clothes washing power cant get rid of.

I also uploaded a video about it on my channel.

Since i have so many of these jars and running out of ideas of what i could use them for, any suggestions?

Thank you for stopping by
