How to Reuse Your Empty Candle Jars as Drinking Glasses

While there are plenty of creative ways to repurpose your finished candle jars, our go-to is to use them for refreshing summer cocktails. Here's a simple guide on how to safely clean your finished candle jar and give it a new life.

Step 1: Remove the wick

Using a butter knife, gently remove the wick at the bottom of the jar. Be careful not to scratch the glass while doing so.

Step 2: Melt away any remaining wax

To easily remove any remaining wax residue, carefully pour boiling water into the candle jar. The hot water will cause the wax to float to the top of the jar. Allow the water to cool and then discard the bits of wax. You can use a spoon or paper towel to wipe away any stubborn wax residue.

Step 4: Wash thoroughly with warm soapy water

Next, give the candle jar a thorough wash with warm, soapy water. Use a sponge or dishcloth to scrub away any remaining residue, both inside and outside the jar. Rinse it thoroughly to ensure all soap is removed.

Step 5: Reuse as stylish cocktail glass

Voila! Your candle jar is now sparkling clean and ready to be used as a drinking glass. The Corridor Collection of heavy rocks glasses are dishwasher safe and reusable, making them perfect for sipping your favorite drinks in style.
