Upcycling Candle Jar Into a Cute Marker Holder
I received this pretty candle jar from my daughter, who had used up the candle. It was lovely, and I could clean out the candle easily just by freezing the wax overnight. Then, popping out the inside with a butter knife. See how I transformed this candle jar into a cute desk marker holder. See how I transformed this candle jar into a cute marker holder.
BEFORE PHOTO: These are the items I used to make this super easy DIY upcycling candle jar project.
First I cleaned the jar and fully dried the jar. I froze the jar and then took a knife and placed it around the edges of the candle jar and was able to pop out the frozen wax. This process took some time in the freezer.
Then, I added the top large pearls about ¼ inch apart from one another all the way around the jar. I angled the jar on its side to easily place the pearl stickers and gradually turned the jar as I added the pearls.
I then, placed cut the pearl sheet into three-row strips. I used both ends of the sheet so I had a straight line on one side of each sheet.
Then, added the three rows around the bottom of the candle jar, adjusting as I went. I measured the rest of the opening and cut the other stripe of three-row pearls so that it fits in the remaining spot.
I then added the clear inspired and dream labels on the center opposite from one another. I added two words: Inspire and Dream one on each side.
AFTER Photo: here is what it looked like after I finished the DIY upcycling project. I love it. It looks so pretty. I will definitely be using recycled candle jars in the future.
