A good candle sale is one of greatest weaknesses. I love burning wax and you will too. Although it seems wrong to throw it out, hoarding empty jars is a waste. It doesn’t matter if you have a purpose for it.
First, clean the candle. To clean glass candle jars, you need to freeze them for at most a few hours. You can easily scoop out the wax scraps by freezing them for at least a few hours. Next, use a butter knife to crack the wax and then give it a good rinse.

You can make your area look great with empty candle jars that you use as office desk accessories. Larger containers are better for taller items such as pencils, pens, and scissors. Smaller containers can be used to store erasers or paper clips.
6 Make a new candle
An old candle can be used for something better. You can make your candle. Most craft shops sell wicks or soy-based wax to melt the wax, heat it in a microwave-safe bowl. Once the wax has melted, glue it to the bottom of the container. Then, use your other hand to slowly pour the wax into your jar. You can then place the candle in the fridge for 10 minutes to harden the wax. A whole new candle will be yours for a fraction of the price it would normally cost in a specialty shop.
