Who here loves their Bath & Bath Body Works candles? They do smell amazing. Don't they? I bet you've got at least a few of them around. Right?
So do you just throw out the empty jars afterward? Well, I'm here to tell you you shouldn't. Instead, you can reuse them into something very creative indeed. Get a load of this idea.
What she did with it might surprise you. She used it as a cute planter. Oh wow, what a great idea!
The first tip she gave her followers was to put your old candle jar in the fridge. That way, you can easily get all those old candle scraps out of it. What a neat hack, huh?
Who knew that? I would never have guessed that. And the best part is, the plant doesn't touch the bottom. So it's absolutely ideal for drainage, too.
Now, if you don't like the color of the candle jar, don't worry. You can put it in soapy water, and the color will come off, leaving the container clear. What?
They suggest you get some bottles of spray paint and water. Spray a few colors into the water until you form a nice pattern and dip the jar inside.
Oh my goodness, isn't this the cutest thing ever? I'm blown away by this simple yet creative idea here. Where has this been all my life? Ha, ha!
As much as I love the color dipping idea, I might be too lazy for that. So you can plop the plant into the jar with some soil and voilà! Easy-peasy, right?
I wonder what made people think of doing this, huh? I guess somebody must've stumbled upon it and shared it along. That's how it usually works. Now, everybody is going to start doing it, too.
Would you do it, too? I have to admit I love when folks come up with clever ways to upcycle old items and give them a new lease on life.
