What can you do with leftover candle jars?
There are loads of things you can do with your leftover candle jars! I’m not sure how large your jars are, but if they’re anything close to a mason jar size, you can do just about anything with them!

A few ideas off the top of my head:

- Use them for food preservation (as long as they’re airtight)
- Build a terrarium
- Pour potpourri in one and leave in your livingroom
- Use them in crafts, or to just store pens, pencils, knick knacks
