Bonus points if it’s in a pretty jar that can be reused!I especially love the ones with the pretty lids with no branding on them for using in organizing projects once they’re clean!.

If your candle is a higher quality one, it will usually have a softer wax, so grab yourself a butter knife and just slice right through it like it’s, well, butter!.OK, it’s a little more challenging than cutting a stick of butter, but as long as you end up with some wedge-like shapes, or any other shape that frees up the wax, you should be able to remove the wax pretty easily.If your candle has wax that’s a little more brittle, you can put the whole thing in the freezer for a few hours and the wax should just pop out.

I like the knife method a little better though because I can just get it done right when I’m thinking of it.I tend to forget candles in the freezer for weeks.

Out of sight, out of mind!.

Once you’ve got your wax wedges out of the jar, just stick them in a little plastic bag and write the scent name on the bag..Since this is going to be a sporty, baseball-themed room, I made this pennant type thing for the wall too.

Pretty much the same thing only you need just one triangle and it needs to be bigger, obviously.I wanted to find some more places to use this navy and white chevron pattern because it’s just the best, so this worked out perfectly..

I hung the bunting over one of the bookcases, just to show you, and Chris got a little insulted that I was already trying to “jazz up” the shelves.He assumed that meant they weren’t pretty enough on their own, so now he’s working on adding a little something to them.
