I am not a DIYer at all. It's honestly almost comical how much I will try to avoid anything DIY, but when I came across an easy way to reuse used candles I had to try. My obsession with Bath and Body Works candles is at an unhealthy high, but who can beat their deals and those scents! While looking on Pintrest I came across Kristyn Cole's blog and figured it looked easy enough. Here is what you will need.
What you will need:
- Used candle (mine is Bath & Body Works)
- Knife
- Hot glue gun
- Wooden coasters from the Target $1 section
- Christmas decor of your choice, I used little trees from the Target $1 section
Steps:
- Place candle in freezer for about an hour
- Take a knife and go around the edges of the wax to separate from jar
- Using hot water rinse out any remaining wax and remove candle label
- Carefully use the hot glue gun to glue on you wooden coaster to cover
- Place something heavy on the coaster to bond the two together
- Finally glue your decor of choice to wooden coaster
They are the perfect addition to my bar cart, which I try to decorate with every Holiday. This year I did a Hot Cocoa Bar and I'm really happy with the way it turned out!
