HOW TO REPURPOSE OUR CANDLE VESSELS

We are big fans of reusing and repurposing candle vessels whenever possible. 

Fill a pot with water until the water level reaches approximately half of your candle vessel height. Bring the water to a low simmer over heat and place your candle vessel inside.

Once the wax is fully liquified, turn off the heat. Using an oven mitt, remove the vessel from the pot with caution.

Pour the liquid wax into a thick trash bag (avoid pouring the wax down the drain as it will harden again very quickly and can clog your drain) and discard. Carefully remove the wick clip and any remaining pieces of wick from the bottom center of the vessel.

Rinse the candle vessel with soapy warm water until all wax residue has been removed and pat dry.

*Please note:  At times the wick clip may be hard to remove. If this is the case, you can use acetone. However, avoid any acetone from coming in contact with the label as it will cause it to fall off (unless you want to remove the label, of course).

 

IDEAS FOR REPURPOSING OUR CANDLE VESSELS
  • Can be used to drink your favorite cocktail, or mocktail (Classic and Seasonal vessels are best suited for this)
  • Makeup brush holder
  • Pen and/or pencil holder
  • Kitchen utensils
  • Gemstones and crystal holders
  • Candy jar for your desk

There are countless ideas. We would love to see how you reuse or repurpose your vessel. Share photos of your CocoMo Creations repurposed candle vessel on social media and tag us @thecocomo1 on Instagram.
