How to Prepare Your Alena’s Candle Container for Reuse

One of the best things about our candles? When the wax runs out, the journey of your container is just beginning! 🌟 At Alena’s, our vessels are designed with repurposing in mind, offering you a sustainable and sentimental way to keep the memories of burning your favorite candle alive.

Repurposing your empty candle container is not only eco-friendly but also a fun and creative activity—perfect for the time while waiting for your next Alena’s candle to arrive. 🕯

Here’s our Quick Four-Step Guide to preparing your Alena’s candle container for its next chapter:

1. Freeze the Wax

Place your used candle in the freezer overnight. The cold makes the wax contract, making it easier to remove.

2. Remove the Wax

Once frozen, lightly tap the vessel on a soft surface until the wax pops out. If needed, use a utensil to gently crack the wax, helping it come out in pieces.

3. Clean the Vessel

Using a soft cloth, remove any remaining wax, wick, or glue dot. Afterward, give the container a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to make it sparkle.

4. Repurpose with Style

Your container is now ready for a second life! Use it to hold makeup brushes, organize pens, display small plants, or even serve as a decorative dish. The possibilities are endless!

By giving your candle vessel a new purpose, you not only reduce waste but also extend the joy it brought to your space.
