Reusing the glass from scented candles gives you the opportunity to create something new and unique while reducing your environmental impact. In this article we will explore inspiring ways to reuse the glass from our scented candles again. Let's dive into the world of creative recycling!
The matte black glasses from scented candles add an elegant and sophisticated touch to your recycling project. That's why we think they are particularly well suited for, among other things:
Makeup brush holder: Clean the glass thoroughly and use it as a stylish container for your makeup brushes. The dark glasses give a luxurious feel to your makeup corner. For an extra nice finish, you can put furniture feet under the cup, then it feels extra luxurious and doesn't risk damaging anything in the bathroom.
Spice jars: Remove any remaining wax and labels from the jars and fill them with stock cubes and spices. Use a permanent marker to write the names of the spices on the glass, or print your own nice label. Or why not make your own seasoning salt and put it on the table with a beautiful spoon so you can easily take it with all meals.
Pen jar: Style up your desk by using the matte black glass as a stylish pen jar. It makes an interesting detail while keeping your pens and pencils organized.
Frosted glasses give a subtle and elegant feel. Modern, romantic and sophisticated. Here are some creative suggestions to give these glasses new life:
Pot: Use the glass as a beautiful container for small plants or cacti. The frosted surface creates a soft and diffused light effect that enhances the natural beauty of the plants. A small orchid also fits perfectly in these cups.
Candle holder: Clean the glass and place a tealight or a battery-powered LED light inside. Or use our environmentally friendly tealights. The frosted glass provides a soft and warm atmosphere by spreading the light in a pleasant way. And if you have more candlesticks, it is always nice to place them in a group on a tray or side table.
Bathroom storage: Use the glass as a stylish storage container for cotton buds, cotton pads or other small bathroom items. Place them on your bathroom shelf for an organized and neat look. The frosted surface gives a fresh look in any bathroom.
Clear glasses from scented candles give a clean and timeless aesthetic to both interior decoration and as drinking glasses. Here are some ideas to give them new life:
Small storage containers: Use the glass as small storage jars for jewelry, buttons or other small items. You can even decorate them with colorful ribbons or labels to give them a personal and organized touch.
Vase or Flower Arrangement: Fill the glass with water and use it as a beautiful vase for fresh flowers or as a container for your own flower arrangements.
Drinking glass: Clean the cup from wax by pouring boiling water into it after lighting the candle. Allow to cool and remove wax residue. Wash the glass thoroughly with detergent and then run it in the dishwasher. Voila, you have beautiful drinking glasses.
Reusing the glass from scented candles is not only a way to reduce waste, but also a chance to explore your creative side. Whether it's the matte black, frosted or clear glasses, you can give them new life and create something beautiful and useful. So the next time you finish a scented candle, think about the possibilities the glass gives you and let your imagination run wild.
