Decoupage them in a matching design and use them as storage on your dressing table or bath room.
Add a knob to the top for apothecary type jars to hold cotton balls, qtips, bobby pins, and such.
You could use them for short flower vases, change jar. as a gift wrap for gift giving... the possibilities are endless.
You could decorate the outside similar to this here: https://happydealhappyday.com/rustic-home-decor-how-to-use-a-flower-loom/
Hi Alexandra - They would make beautiful containers for succulents! Here is a super cute idea that you can take the concept and use on your own containers. Hope this helps with some inspiration. Hugs, Holly

Depending on how large they are you could store all sorts of things in them. You could also add another candle and burn in the jar. If it were me, I would clean them out, put in the freezer let the wax harden, then you can take a butter knife to clean out the leftover wax. I would use them in the bathroom, for cotton, Q-tips, toothbrushes and paste. Since they have lids you can store bandaids, or put your lysol or baby wipes in them.
Thanks
What about buying candle wax and reusing them as candles again? Swan Creek candles has amazing scents and sells wax and wicks that you can use for refills.
Ive melted down the remaining wax and cleaned out and removed the labels. They make great bathroom cabinet storage!
