Using Old Yankee Candle Jars

This is a quick project which makes use of a Yankee Candle jar once all the candle has burned.


I broke the wax with a knife and took it out.

After that I washed it in hot soapy water to get rid of any wax.


Then I took off the label and used some white spirit to remove the sticky residue.


I took the plastic seal off the lid.

I cut some circles out of white paper and made snowflakes, which I stuck on with PVA glue.

When it was dry I put a candle in the jar and one in the lid as well for a mini tea light holder.

When it is lit, it makes lovely shadows on the wall behind.
