From Candle Jar to Candy Jar

How to transform a glass candle jar into a pretty candy jar, plus printable gift tags

I get a kick out of upcycling– finding new ways to use things bound for the recycling bin or trash can. I have been saving my used glass jar candles for some time. Even after the candles are past their prime (and down to an inch of melted wax), I find the jars to pretty. It would be a waste to get rid of them just because the candle wasn’t working anymore.

The Easiest Way to Remove Wax from a Glass Jar Candle: Reuse those pretty glass jars with an awesome hack to get rid of that old candle wax! A fun recycling/upcycling idea.

Through trial and error, I discovered The Easiest Way to Remove Wax from a Glass Jar Candle. Now I’m almost looking forward to when my candles burn out so I can do more! Yes I am a total dork. So first, you’ll want to check out my post for getting rid of that wax, those wicks and those labels.

Once that part is done, all you need is some candy or sweet treats, some ribbon and my Snowflake Tags printable (if you like).

    love the idea and have done this for years to store change etc in. But edibles?? How do you get the scent out of the jar? I’ve noticed every time I open my saved candle/jar it still has the scent of the candle. I have even ran mine through the dishwasher & still scented. Love your posts !!

      Hi Mary! Thanks for your comment. I find that a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol (and then rinse after it dries) takes care of any odor.

    How to you get the candle scent from the jar? I’ve tried this once and my m&m’s tasted funny, like the scent the candle was.

      Hi Amy! Rubbing alcohol on the glass (then rinse it after) has worked for me.
