Repurposing Old Candle Jars Into Snow Globes
Above is the candle jar that I used for this project. I really love these candles and I get quite a few of them a month. And once I burn all the way through them, I put them in the freezer for a couple of hours. Then, I take them out and use a butter knife to pop out the remaining wax. Once I get the wax all out, I wash the jar in hot, soapy water to clean it well. I could not get the wick out of this jar but it didn’t really matter because I was going to cover the bottom of the jar with the fake snow.
So are you ready for how incredibly easy this DIY is?! All you have to do is pour some of that fake buffalo snow into the bottom of the jar. Fill it up as much or as little as you want and then place a Christmas tree on top. Also, if you had any other cute Christmas figurines, those would work too. I would love to make one with a red truck and a Christmas tree as well. Then just screw the lid on, tie some string around the top of the jar and you are done! How easy is that?! And it’s even easier if you’re using a mason jar and not repurposing a candle jar! This literally took me 5 minutes to put together and it didn’t cost much at all either. I have plenty leftover supplies to make more as well.
I love to put mine all around the house and especially on open shelves like pictured above. They give each space a perfect amount of Christmas flair!
