From Flame To Function

Turn your jar into something beautiful, useful, and totally you

Glass too good to throw away? Here’s how to clean it up and reuse it — for drinks, storage, or modern decor.

Step-by-Step: Clean & Repurpose

  1. Remove label

    Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the label and it should peel right off

  2. Freeze overnight
    Helps leftover wax shrink and release easily.

  3. Loosen the wax
    Run warm water over the outside, then let it rest for a few minutes to let the glass come to room temperature. Then gently pop out wax with a wooden spoon. If you don’t let the glass come to room temp, it will likely break- BE CAREFUL!
    (Tip: Hold the base — it’s thick and sturdy.)

  4. Remove the wick tab
    Stuck? Soak in warm water + dish soap for 10–15 min, then peel off.

  5. Wash it up
    Clean with dish soap and warm water.
    (Dishwasher safe too, for a final sparkle!)

Make it Yours — Again

🍸 Use it as a cocktail or mocktail glass

  1. Turn it into a mini plant pot

  2. Desk organizer (pens, makeup brushes, etc.)

  3. Catchall for jewelry, matches, or crystals

  4. Espresso glass or iced coffee tumbler

A Quick Word On Safety

  1. Only reuse the jar for drinking once it’s fully clean and wax-free.

  2. Always check for cracks before using with hot or cold liquids.

  3. We don’t recommend using the jar for food storage unless it’s been sanitized properly.
