Repurposing Candle Vessels & Lids

At Noohra, we believe every vessel holds more than wax—it holds memory, meaning, and the potential for renewal. Once your candle has finished its journey, its vessel and lid can begin a new one.

Here are a few soul-nurturing ways to repurpose your candle components:

Glass Vessels

  • Prayer Jar or Gratitude Keeper Write down blessings, answered prayers, or daily gratitudes and tuck them inside.
  • Mini Planter Add pebbles and soil to create a home for succulents or herbs.
  • Desk Organizer Store pens, brushes, or small tools with elegance and intention.
  • Tea Light Holder Place a small candle inside to continue the glow.
  • Gift Container Fill with treats, notes, or small items and wrap with ribbon for a heartfelt gift.

Tin Containers

  • Travel Keepsake Box Store jewelry, rosary beads, or small mementos for on-the-go reflection.
  • Mini First Aid or Self-Care Kit Fill with bandages, essential oils, or calming items for your purse or car.
  • Seed Starter or Spice Tin Use for planting herbs or storing dried spices in your kitchen.
  • Portable Devotional Kit Add a folded verse, a tea light, and a small token of encouragement.

Cork Lids

  • Coasters or Trivets Use as a natural coaster for mugs or small dishes.
  • Message Board Pin gentle reminders, verses, or affirmations to a mounted cork lid.
  • Craft Base Paint, stamp, or decorate for seasonal DIYs or kids’ projects.

Cleaning Tips

To safely clean your vessel:

  1. Freeze Method (Recommended for Soy Wax): Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. Once the wax hardens, gently pop it out with a spoon or butter knife. Remove the wick tab and discard responsibly.
  2. Warm Water Rinse: After wax removal, wash the jar with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before repurposing.

Safety Notes:

  • Avoid sharp tools that could crack the glass.
  • Let jars return to room temperature before washing to prevent thermal shock.
  • Never pour wax down the drain—it can clog pipes.
