UPCYCLE
Give your Black Peonies vessels a second life. Here are steps and tips on how to upcycle them.
COLLECT
Collect the necessary supplies for the upcycling project; the empty candle vessel, hot water, dish soap, a spoon or butter knife, paper towels or cloth, and any additional materials you plan to use for decoration or repurposing.
REMOVE
Remove the remaining wax by placing the empty candle vessel in a sink or bowl and pouring hot water into it. Allow the water to melt the remaining wax, which will float to the top. You can gently remove the residual wax with a spoon or butter knife. Be careful not to damage the vessel in the process.
CLEAN
Clean the vessel by adding a few drops of dishsoap and filling it with warm water. Use a cloth or paper towel to gently scrub and remove any wax residue or soot from the vessel. Rinse thoroughly to ensure it's clean and free of soap.
DECORATE
Now comes the fun part! Decide how you want to repurpose or decorate the vessel. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.
-
PLANT HOLDER
Fill the vessel with soil and plant a small succulent or herb. It can serve as a charming mini planter.
-
DESK ORGANIZER
Place pens, pencils, or other office supplies inside the vessel to create a stylish desk organizer.
-
BEAUTY TOOLS
Use it to store makeup brushes, beauty tools, cotton balls, or Q-tips on a vanity or bathroom counter.
