I wanted to write a post today on some handy idea for storage in empty candle jars. Most of my empty candle jars are from Bath and Body Works, but I have a few from Yankee Candle. I didn't decorate the jars, for this post I kept the jars plain, but later in the post I'll show examples of how I decorated the jars with Mod Podge and Glitter along with my DIY link.
1. Candy Jar Storage
These Yankee Candle empty candle jars make great candy jars!
3. Crochet Needles and Tapestry Needles Storage
This is a great idea for crafters! Crochet hooks and tapestry needles fit perfectly in this jar! I'm unsure if knitting needles will fit with the top on. If the needles don't fit, you could always leave the top off!
2. Lipstick Eggs and Macaron Storage
Looking for a way to store you EOS lipbalms, Lipstick Eggs, and Macarons? Here you go! As you can see everything fits so neatly inside! This also looks cute on a vanity in your makeup collection!
4. Makeup Brushes/Beauty Storage
I shared my DIY tutorial on how to make these glitter makeup brush holders etc. last year. Here the link to my DIY Glitter Makeup Brush Holders.
How do you use your empty candle jars?
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

There's are all such good ideas!! I bet there's tons of craft things that be stored in jars like your crochet needles! I stored some candy around Halloween in some of my empty ones. Great post Pilar!

i did a post once on this--they are too useful to throw out! i have tons of them around :)
I remember your post Elle! I thought that you had a lot of good ideas for empty candle jars too! I have a good bit of empty candle jars too!
Such cute ideas! I use a few old jars to store lip balms and all of my Revlon Lip Butters, it's great!

Thanks Lily! Storing Revlon Lip Butters sounds like a great idea! I didn't think of that for these jars!
These are such great ideas! It's a great way to store cute items that you want to see displayed. I have a few old candle jars that I keep makeup brushes in. I need to do something like this with my samples.
My mum uses them as candy holders and boy, she has tons of them! Great idea as makeup brush holder, I don't have that many brushes but definitely keeping this idea in mind.

Thanks Lauren! I think putting your samples in these jars is a great idea too! I think I may start storing samples in jars as well!
