Step-by-Step Guide to Reusing Old Candle Jars

A little birdie just told me that some of you are tossing your empty Muna Candle jars into the bin??!

Tell me that’s not true, because if it is, you are going to JAIL!!!

It’s worldwide news that our jars are reusable and can be repurposed in so many different ways.

We believe every candle tells a story, and just because the flame has flickered out doesn’t mean that story has to end! Our stunning jars aren’t just there to hold a candle; they’re built to be a part of your life long after the last glow fades. So, why not give your candle jar a fabulous second act? Whether it’s a chic décor piece or a new home for your succulents, we’ve got a sweet and simple guide to help you repurpose your jar in style—because sustainability never looked so good!

Step 1: Melt Away the Leftovers  

After enjoying your candle to the fullest, a little wax may be left behind. Don’t worry—removing it is super easy! Just place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. Once the wax has hardened, gently tap the bottom of the jar to loosen the wax, and it should pop right out. For stubborn bits, a warm water soak or a dab of rubbing alcohol can do the trick!

Step 2: Clean and Shine  

Next, give your candle jar a good cleaning. Use warm, soapy water to remove any leftover wax residue. A sponge and a little elbow grease will have your jar looking shiny and new in no time. If your jar has any stubborn soot marks, a bit of vinegar on a cloth works wonders to bring back that sparkle.

Step 3: Choose Your New Purpose  

Now comes the fun part—deciding how to reuse your beautiful Muna candle jar! Here are some cute ideas:

1. Plant Pot: Your empty candle jar makes the perfect little pot for succulents or small houseplants.
2. Makeup Brush Holder: Keep your vanity organized by storing your makeup brushes or beauty tools in your clean candle jar.
3. Jewelry Storage: Display rings, bracelets, or earrings in a chic and minimalist way.
4. Pen Holder: Give your workspace a touch of luxury by using the jar to store pens and office supplies.
5. Mini Flower Vase: Fill the jar with fresh blooms to brighten up your space.
