Some creative ideas we love:

  • A cute vase for your florals
  • To grow plant cuttings

How to Clean Your Candle Jar

How to easily clean your candle vessel.

✖️Never burn your candle past the 1/2 inch mark( sorry i work in inches ) as there’s not enough wax to support the burn, this may result in the vessel overheating and in some cases can shatter✖️

•Before cleaning out your vessel light the remainder of the wax, blow it out till it’s a creamy smooth consistency.

•Commit to metal and spoon out the soft wax onto a paper towel once cleaned discard the paper towel in the bin (NEVER POUR WAX DOWN THE DRAIN as it will CLOG)

• Rinse out with warm soapy water, towel dry and VOILA.
