Upcycle Candle Jars Into Bathroom Storage
Learn how to upcycle candle jars for bathroom storage. Using a Cricut, you can transform candle jars into useful accessories for the bathroom.
I burn a lot of candles. They add scent and coziness to whatever room where they are lit. My favorite candles come from Bath and Body Works. I always buy multiples of my favorite scents each season.
Burning lots of candles means I have lots of jars to upcycle.
To upcycle means when you alter an item for a different purpose that would otherwise be placed in the trash. You’re creating a new item out something instead of throwing it away.
I have also monogrammed these candle jars using my Cricut and vinyl. Filling these with pens, tech accessories like earphones and chargers, little note pads for my desk.
These jars are perfect for holding cotton balls, cotton swabs and makeup brushes, too. I used my Cricut Explore and gold vinyl to create my sparkle and shine bathroom set. I just used the text setting to spell out the words and cut. Then applied the vinyl lettering to the jars.
Adding A Shelf To Hold The Candle Jars
I had an old shelf sitting in a closet. I spray painted it white then distressed it with sandpaper. This little project is in my daughters bathroom. I hung the shelf in the space between the two mirrors. Three jars fit perfectly. This will help the bathroom stay a bit more organized. This is always a plus in a bathroom.
I also added the chevron vinyl design to the jar sitting on the counter. So classic. Don’t you think it goes well with the gold faucets?
I created the chevron design in Cricut Design Space using the chevron pattern overlay in the Edge To Edge image set.
This was a zero cost project. I had all the supplies.
To think, I was going to donate that shelf. I had that shelf sitting a closet for more than a year. I am so glad to have it out of the way and back to being useful.
Sometimes projects just take time to curate.
I hope this inspires you to look at your unused items and repurpose them. Even transforming them. Grab some spray paint, make some stickers and let me know what you come up with.
