This is why we thought about different useful and clever ideas to recycle our candle pots easily! So grab your empty candle jars and follow the guide!
Recycle your candle pots for your plants
A pretty pot or planter for your plants
Firstly, you can absolutely reuse our candle containers to make very pretty and elegant pots or planters. To do this, you simply need to proceed in the same way as you would with a basic pot or planter! Not only do you recycle a glass jar, but you also end up with a beautiful decoration that matches any interior, all for free! For example, you can add succulents or carnivorous plants which are particularly suited to the different formats of our amber glass pots.
A timeless and unique vase for your bouquets of flowers
Along the same lines as flower pots, you can very well use our candle pots to make vases. For example, you can add pretty little bouquets of dried flowers which go particularly well with the refined and vintage style of our packaging. This brings a rustic, bohemian and romantic touch to your home, without having to buy a new vase!
Please note that if you want a vase in your image, you can remove our candle labels! To do this, simply peel them off after soaking the empty containers in hot water. You can also use nail polish remover to scrub stubborn marks, and you will have vases to personalize! If you prefer a simpler method, simply hide the label in any way you prefer. For example, you can stick another label on top, paint it, stick elements on it, crochet, sew or knit a band around the vase... Be creative!
Transform your glass candles into containers of your choice
Reusable containers for every room in your house
To recycle our glass jars, one of the simplest and most practical ways is to use them as containers, for the parts of your choice. We give you some examples below.
Practical containers for the bathroom
In this room, for example, you can use our glass containers to store your washable cotton pads, store your elastics and hair clips and even as a toothbrush pot, why not! With the sleek, amber design of our pots, you can give a touch of apothecary style decoration to your bathroom, very easily.
Useful containers for the kitchen
In your kitchen, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to recycling our glass candle jars. Store your foodstuffs in bulk (seeds, oilseeds, powders, etc.), store your spices and salt for example... Be careful, however, be sure to wash and deodorize the empty jars of our candles before using them. using white vinegar, for example. Our fragrances can in fact remain tenacious after washing, so it is necessary to follow this step carefully (do not hesitate to wash several times if necessary).
Containers to recycle for leisure and daily activities
Using our glass candle jars to store leisure or activity accessories of your choice can also be a good alternative. For example, if you have an office or a creative workshop, you can reuse our empty containers to store paper clips and other accessories or recycle them as pencil holders, paintbrushes, hooks... You can do as you wish, from as long as you find it practical, simple and to your liking, of course!
Reuse your candle jars to make DIYs
Reuse your glass jars to make natural cosmetics
The La Bougie Herbivore pots that we use are particularly practical and useful for making your homemade cosmetics. These are made of amber glass, which is ideal since it protects the product from the sun and therefore preserves it better on a daily basis.

Whether for balms, deodorant creams, moisturizing creams or other cosmetics, glass jars are very practical and very useful!
