Do you need to organize that makeup drawer? Do you want your kitchen utensils readily available? Do you want to save money? Do you ever burn candles that are manufactured with reusable glass containers? If so, then you've come to the right place.

Many candles that we buy in stores come in handy and beautiful glass containers. But what do we do with the glass container when the candle is gone? I hope you don't say, "Throw it away," because in today's world and with this economy we can't afford to. Reusing those old containers is easy and quick. They make convenient and beautiful drawer organizers, pencil, jewelery, or utensil holders and much, much more. Your creativity is the limit. You can leave them unadorned or add ribbon and other decorations to jazz them up a bit. I prefer to leave them undecorated and take advantage of their transparent quality so I can see what's inside.

It's so easy. Simply wash and reuse. If there is a large amount of wax left in the container, let the container and wax cool to room temperature and place in the freezer for a couple of hours. Note: placing a hot glass container in the freezer may cause the glass to shatter and make a mess for you to clean up. Remove the container from the freezer and use a knife or other sharp object to break up and remove the wax. Tip: If you place the point of your sharp object close to the wick and apply pressure downward, you can often split the wax into smaller pieces which are easier to remove. Once most of the wax is removed, you'll need to wash the glass with soap and hot water. If you have trouble getting the wax off of the glass, I suggest letting the glass soak for a minute or two in very hot water. This hot water will actually "lift" the wax off of the glass surface in most cases, leaving only a little bit left for you to scrub off with a typical nonabrasive kitchen scrubber and a little dish soap. I hope you've enjoyed the tip and take a look at the pictures for more ideas.

I do not recommend using these containers to hold food. I'm not sure that it would be safe and I do not accept responsibility for any problem that may result from eating food from a recycled glass candle holder.
