Every since I was little, I have had this love for taking care of the environment. Maybe it was because I was a Girl Scout or maybe it was because I was elected to Student Council as the Ecology Chairperson in 7th grade (I bet you’ve never heard of that job before). Either way, I have an affinity for doing things that leave the world a little better off than I found it.

I have a few of these candle jars lying around, and I thought they would be nice to reuse for anything from small vases, to storing craft supplies. (Please keep in mind that these are not food safe).
I first followed all the steps in the tutorial. Putting them in the freezer over night helped for the residual wax to just slip out in one piece. Then in true Erin fashion, and added a little something.
I found these really cute labels at Target in the $1 spot.
I added the labels to the jars, and filled them with a few things we use. They now reside in the freshly painted upstairs bathroom.
Also, it is worth mentioning that if you are having trouble removing the fragrant candle smell from the jars and lids even after thoroughly washing them, try mixing a little baking soda and vinegar in the jars and put the lids on and let sit overnight. Then wash again. That should do the trick.
PS Also, check out my latest on South of I-80. I’m discussing marathon running… or lack there of.

Such cute jars!! I've been hoarding old salsa jars lately…not sure why or what I'll use them for! 🙂
This is so smart! Love this idea…the possibilities for these jars are endless! Love the labels too!
I LOVE this! Such a cute way of organizing everyday items like cotton balls and Q-tips. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tip!
