This may be the stupidest craft yet but meh, let’s keep going.
I got this soy candle as a wedding gift from a friend (HER NAME IS TAI) and I loved it so much I just couldn’t bare to toss it out when it was spent. So, I put it in the freezer…
I took a minute of my Saturday night (wiiiild) and chipped out the wax with a butter knife. It was easy peasy. Then, I scraped off the sticker and wick and viola!
A NEW MAKEUP BRUSHES HOLDER THINGY:
Which is now living in my bathroom:
Cute, eh?
Cute indeed!
and freeeeee!
Its the gift that keeps on giving!
Totally! I’m a lucky girl to have friends like you!
thecandace.com is a woman after my own heart. i love that you use and reuse the items you have and adore. did you have to cook it in the microwave? soy wax must come off easier. it looks delightful. keep up the great work. your relative in crafting. lv mamap
Nope, the soy wax was easy to chip out after it was frozen – it took less than a minute to clean it out completely! I’ve done it with other non-soy candles too. It’s a little more work but still completely doable.
+1 for the candace reusing: good for our budget and good for the environment!
i so smaaart.
Soooo smart! I have a candle jar that needs makeup accessories in it. Bravo
Woot woot!
So cute! Maybe Tony and I can figure out creative uses for the hundreds of candleholders kicking around our house!
The possibilities are endless! Maybe art supplies corral-ers?
