3 Smart Ways To Reuse Your Old Living Good Candle Jar
When your Living Good Candle Co. beeswax candle burns down to its last flicker, don’t toss the jar away. That beautifully crafted, reusable jar holds endless possibilities. At Living Good Candle Co., we believe every part of our clean-burning candles and non-toxic candles should support sustainability, health, and style — even after the candle is gone.
Reusing your Living Good Candle Co. jar isn’t just eco-friendly; it’s a way to bring more beauty, function, and purpose into your home. Whether you’re new to sustainable candle making or a seasoned eco-conscious creator, transforming your candle jar into a useful item or refilling it with fresh beeswax extends its life and reduces waste. Plus, it helps you connect with the values behind eco-friendly candles — care for your home, the planet, and your wellbeing.
Here’s What You’ll Learn:
Organize Your Bathroom with a Living Good Candle Jar
Empty Living Good Candle Co. jars make perfect bathroom organizers. Their size and shape make them ideal for storing everyday essentials, reducing clutter, and adding a spa-like touch to your space. Using your candle jars this way is a clever and stylish form of upcycling that supports zero-waste habits and reduces single-use plastics — a core principle of sustainable candle packaging.
How to Prepare Your Jar for Bathroom Use
After your candle has fully burned, let any leftover wax cool and harden. Then soak the jar in warm, soapy water to soften the wax residue. Use a gentle scraper or cloth to remove remaining wax and pull out the wick tab. Wash thoroughly to reveal a smooth, clean jar ready to use. This simple cleaning routine makes sure your jar is hygienic and safe for storing personal care items, reinforcing the benefits of natural beeswax candle care and sustainability.
This cleaning method is important because leftover wax or residue can attract dust or bacteria over time. Properly cleaning your jar helps maintain a fresh, clean environment, especially when repurposing it for bathroom essentials.
What Can You Store?
- Cotton pads or reusable makeup rounds, perfect for facial cleansing or removing makeup naturally.
- Q-tips, floss picks, or small travel items like tiny combs or nail tools.
- Hair ties, bobby pins, and clips, keeping your hair accessories tidy and easy to find.
- Makeup brushes or toothbrushes, organizing tools that otherwise clutter your countertop.
- Bath salts or dried flower petals for a calming spa-like vibe, turning your bathroom into a sanctuary.
Placing your reusable candle jar on the vanity or bathroom shelf not only organizes your essentials but reduces reliance on plastic containers. The glass jar adds a minimalist, eco-friendly touch and reminds you that reusable candle jars can be both practical and beautiful.
For an extra upgrade, add a cork or bamboo lid to keep contents dust-free. This small addition enhances your eco-friendly candle packaging approach while preserving the natural aesthetic of your space.
These small adjustments not only tidy your space but reinforce a lifestyle of mindful consumption and sustainable living. Every time you reach for a reusable jar instead of a disposable plastic container, you’re making a positive impact.
How to Use a Living Good Candle Jar as a Tabletop Vase
Bring nature’s beauty inside by turning your Living Good Candle Co. jar into a charming tabletop vase. Whether for fresh flowers, dried herbs, or seasonal greens, your jar can become a lovely decorative accent that supports eco-conscious home decor and slow living principles.
Prep Your Vase
It’s perfectly fine if a bit of wax remains inside; it adds character and tells a story of mindful consumption. Fill the jar with clean water and arrange a few stems from your garden or local market. The jar’s size suits small to medium floral arrangements perfectly — no need for bulky, wasteful vases.
This idea perfectly blends functionality with sustainability. Instead of buying new vases made of plastic or other materials, you’re creatively reusing what you already have, reducing waste and saving money.
Floral Ideas to Try:
- Single stems like eucalyptus, rosemary, or wildflowers — minimal yet striking.
- Bundles of dried florals such as baby’s breath or lavender, which add texture and last longer.
- Seasonal greenery or festive holiday sprigs, perfect for celebrating nature’s cycles.
- Floating petals with a tealight for soft ambiance and a gentle glow.
The clear glass complements many decor styles, from rustic and cozy to modern and minimalist. Since Living Good candles are non-toxic and free from synthetic fragrance oils or petrochemical waxes, you can confidently use your jar without worrying about harmful residues affecting your plants or indoor air quality.
Choosing to reuse your jar as a vase is a small, intentional act of sustainable habits that helps reduce waste while adding natural beauty and warmth to your living spaces. It’s a statement that slow living and eco-conscious choices can coexist beautifully in your home.

Why Beeswax?
Organic beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than soy or paraffin candles. They release negative ions that purify indoor air by binding with allergens and pollutants. Plus, they’re safe for families and pets, making them ideal beeswax candles safe for pets and beeswax candles safe for kids.
By refilling your jar, you extend the candle’s full life cycle, reduce plastic and packaging waste, and support a more sustainable lifestyle. Many of our customers make refilling a monthly habit or a thoughtful handmade candle gift idea.
