5 Easy Ways To Repurpose Candle Jars

Each ceramic candle jar we create at Aerangis is an original piece of art, handcrafted by artisans in Shuili, Taiwan using a traditional Taiwanese Snake Kiln. And while the jars were conceived as elegant vessels for our scented candles, they also make chic storage containers for a variety of other items in your home. Here are some stylish suggestions:

#1. Elevate Your Coffee and Tea Station

Aerangis ceramic jars can organize – and modernize – your morning brewing station. Use them to store spoons, filters, tea bags, or serving utensils for sugar or honey, making for an elegant presentation of even the most basic kitchen items. 

#2. Create An Indoor Garden

Elements of our Aerangis candles and jars are intentionally meant to be reused. These containers are the perfect size for giving new life to vegetable scraps and plant herbs. Or why not try raising wildflowers? All you need to do is replant the dust cover that comes with your Aerangis candle which is made from biodegradable paper embedded with wildflower seeds! 

#3. Showcase Some Pretty Things

Repurpose your empty vessel as a small vase for fresh flowers to replace one beautiful scent with another.

Additionally, the jars can be utilized as the ideal organizational container for art supplies, beauty goods and more. Items like sharpened colored pencils, lipgloss, lollipops, curly straws or makeup brushes stay neat while looking decorative.

#4. Create a Trinket Catchall

Hair ties, cotton swabs, paper clips, loose coins: Your empty jar can organize small trinkets into one sleek storage spot. You may find the jars especially helpful in an office, kitchen or bathroom, where they help tidy a messy junk drawer.

#5. Stash Your Fresh Spices

Fresh spices and herbs are a wonderful way to add scent and flavor to your cooking—so why not keep them at the ready on your kitchen counter? Simply fill an empty Aerangis ceramic jar with an inch or two of water and place the fresh spices or herb bouquet inside. (The jar also works well as a container for dry spices.)

Rethink how you approach organizing your living space with simple modern upgrades.

Reuse our beautifully fragranced and hand-crafted ceramic jars to give your countertops (and your basic items) a classically chic new look.
