Uses For Empty Yankee Candle Jars

Yankee candle jars are a great way to repurpose old candles, but they’re also versatile. These are versatile and may be used for anything from holding pens and pencils to creating cute herb gardens. For inspiration, I have compiled a list of uses for empty Yankee Candle jars that I have found useful:

1. They’re great for pens, pencils, and highlighters.

Great for pens, pencils, and highlighters. These jars are small enough to take up less space on your desk or in your desk drawer. In addition, because the contents of the jar are visible through the glass, you’ll never have to waste time rummaging through it to find your go-to pen or pencil again. Most importantly, these airtight jars keep moisture away from the items stored inside them—even if they’re not in use for long periods—making them ideal for keeping your most important writing tools safe from damage due to humidity.

2. You can use them as tiny vases.

Another use for Yankee Candle jars is as a mini vase. You may put flowers in them and fill them with water, or you can fill them with sand and seashells as beach decorations. They’re also great for keeping pens and pencils on your desk, or you could use one as an organizer by putting it on top of your dresser or nightstand where you’re always dropping change.

3. Use them to keep cotton balls in order.

Here are some other uses for your Yankee Candle jars:

• Use a cotton ball to clean your makeup brushes. 
• Use a cotton ball to remove nail polish from your fingers. 
• Use a cotton ball to remove excess glue from your paper crafts. Just dip one corner into warm water, then wipe away any extra glue until everything looks nice and smooth again.

4. You can use them as tiny trashcans in your car and office.

The good news is that there is a solution to this issue: 

• Use plastic Yankee Candle jars as tiny trashcans for your car or office! These little containers are small enough to fit comfortably in your cup holder and can be easily cleaned with soap and water if they become dirty. They also take up very little space when not being used as a receptacle for garbage.

With their multiple uses and easy cleanup process, plastic Yankee Candle jars make great additions to any room where they will be used regularly by more than one person—whether it’s your bedroom or office!

5. Use it for corralling your vanity’s miscellaneous odds and ends.

For all of the things you might have lying around your vanities, such as hair ties, bobby pins, and other small accessories that are always getting lost, or makeup brushes you’re too lazy to put away after a night out (or even jewelry), Yankee Candle jars make great storage solutions. Clear glass lets you see what’s within without opening and rummaging.

6. Make some adorable herb gardens.

Herb gardens add greenery and fresh herbs to your home. These herb gardens can easily be created in any jar, whether an old wine bottle or a decorative mason jar. First, fill the bottom of the jar with rocks to help keep the soil from washing away, then add soil and herbs. The jars should fit small herbs like cilantro and rosemary and larger ones like basil and thyme. Then, depending on your available space, you can grow your herbs indoors or outdoors!

You can also use this method to grow your herbs in a pot. First, fill a small pot with soil, then add rocks or clay pellets to keep the soil from washing away. Next, add water until it’s about an inch below the top of the pot, then insert your herbs. Then you’re ready to harvest; simply pull out your herbs. 

7. Put your keys into one of these jars by the front door.

• Put your keys in one of these jars by the front door, so they’re easy to find when you leave the house.
• Keep your keys out of sight, so they don’t get stolen or broken.
• Keep your keys dry if it’s raining outside.

8. Yankee candle jars are super versatile.

Yankee Candle Jars are awesome, versatile, durable, and easy to find—but that’s not all they can do. The household things you keep in these containers are as varied as those who use them. Some common everyday applications of the Yankee Jar are listed below.

• As a vase for flowers or herbs
• As a candleholder 
• To store small items like buttons, coins, or jewelry

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways to use Yankee Candle jars. They’re great for keeping things organized and looking cute.
