Scentsy Candles deliver fragrance, style, and flicker! After hours of enjoyment, those vessels are so lovely they’re just begging for a second act. Reuse your Scentsy Candle glass or ceramic container and reduce waste by upcycling into something unique and fun.
First, empty the container and clean it up using one of these options:
Freezer method: Freeze for several hours until the wax shrinks. Pop out the wax and wash the container with soap and water.
Hot water method: Carefully fill the vessel with boiling water but leave room at the top. The wax will melt then solidify at the top as the water cools. Pop out the wax and wash the container with soap and water.
Now, choose one of our favorite ways to transform the empty containers into something new.
Tame desk clutter
Cluttered workspace, meet organized productivity spot. Gorgeous Scentsy Candle containers become lovely pen and pencil holders that look beautiful on a desk or counter. Use the vessels to sort markers, crayons or colored pencils. Group up a few on a craft counter or homework station, and suddenly you’ve got a cohesive, stylish storage solution that didn’t cost you a dime.
Bring the outdoors in
An empty candle container makes a charming vase for seasonal blooms from the yard. Add a single rose, a sprig of lavender or a hefty bunch of wildflowers. For plant parents, Scentsy Candle containers are perfect little pots to propagate starts or plant smaller succulents. If you’re going the potted plant route, drill a small drainage hole in the bottom (or layer in pebbles to prevent root rot).
Spruce up the powder room
Let’s talk bathroom counters. Seriously. Instead of cluttered chaos, add these stunning glass containers and fill them with cotton swabs, cotton rounds or dental flossers. Bobby pins and hair ties finally have a home. Scentsy Candle containers elevate your bathroom aesthetic from “stuff everywhere” to “I totally have my life together.” Plus, when everything’s visible and organized, your daily routine gets a whole lot easier.
Bonus ideas
- Create a handsome change jar for a dresser or nightstand. It beats a pile of accumulating loose coins.
- Add a string of battery-operated fairy lights and use the container as ambient lighting on a patio or bookshelf.
- Use as a container to gift homemade bath salts.
These ideas are just the tip of the flame. You’ll soon see empty Candle containers as opportunities instead of trash.
