Upcycled & Recycled
At Heart & Home, we believe in sustainability and making the most of every product we create. Once you've enjoyed the delightful fragrances of our candles or diffusers, don't toss those beautiful containers! There are plenty of creative and practical ways to recycle and reuse them. Here are some inspiring ideas to give your Heart & Home containers a second life.
1. Storage for Small Items
Our candle jars are the perfect size for storing small household items. Use them to organize:
- Cotton balls and swabs in the bathroom
- Paperclips, push pins, and rubber bands in the office
- Jewelry, such as rings and earrings, on your vanity
- Loose change to keep your countertops clutter-free
2. Plant Pots for Succulents & Herbs
Turn your Heart & Home containers into adorable planters! Simply clean out any remaining wax, add a few pebbles for drainage, and plant your favorite succulents or herbs. These stylish "pots" make for charming home decor.
3. DIY Candle Refill
Why not turn your empty candle jar into a brand-new candle? Melt down old candle remnants, use our soy wax or unscented soy wax (and add your favorite essential oils), add a wick, and pour into the container.
4. Creative DIY Projects
Get crafty and transform your jars into:
- Decorative vases for fresh or dried flowers
- Pen and pencil holders for your desk

6. Eco-Friendly Gifting
Repurpose your candle jars as eco-friendly gift containers! Fill them with goodies such as:
- Homemade candles or bath products
- Wrapped candy or other sweet treats
7. Desk and Craft Supply Storage
Declutter your workspace by using the jars for:
- Paintbrushes and markers
- Sewing supplies such as buttons and thread
- Beads and other craft materials
8. Donate or Recycle
If you don’t have a need for your empty Heart & Home containers, consider donating them to local craft groups, schools, or community centers. If recycling, check your local recycling guidelines to properly dispose of the materials.
