REPURPOSED CANDLE JAR

If you're like me you're addicted to those Bath & Body Works candles that are just so tempting to buy during their 2 for $20 sale. And if you're really like me you're a total hoarder that has no idea what to do with the empty jar and can't bare to throw the thing away... so you have a stack of them under your kitchen sink just sitting there for over a year, only to be haunted every time you reach for a dishwasher tablet.

Thankfully I now can reach for a dishwasher tablet guilt free... no longer haunted by used up candles taking up space!

Here is what you need!
- Empty candle jars
- Yarn
- planting stuff: potting soil, draining rocks, succulent.

(To clean out the remainder of the wax I found the easiest way to take it out is to stick the jar into the freezer overnight. Then pop/crack the wax out with a butter knife. When the jar is back into room temperature clean the remaining reside with dishwasher soap and warm water.)

Crocheting around the jar was a lot easier than I anticipated... especially using a thick yarn made it fairly quick! I didn't save the link (found on Pinterest) on how to crochet around a jar and when I tried looking for it just now I was swamped with unfamiliar links. Just search something like "crochet jar tutorial" or something along that nature.

Here is what you need for the pen jar:
- Glass paint
- Reinforcement stickers 

In order to get the spacing somewhat decent I decide to use hole punch reinforcement stickers and stuck them inside the jar and used them as a guide.

Here's a photo for reference:

And there you go! Happy crafting!
