DIY : recycling your candle holders !

 Not know what to do with your candles when you're finished burning them ?  
Read on to see the fun things you can do with them ! trust me , do not throw these puppies out !   
 Step 1 - fill the candle up with some hot water and let sit for a minute or two.
 Then with a spoon , scrap at the wax on the bottom. It should come off pretty easy. 

Step 2 - Get some dishwashing soap and a scrubbing sponge to tackle the stuck on wax residue. 
 Step 3 - Peel off the label and give the area where the label was a scrub ! 
and viola , all finished ! This is such an easy way to create cute and functional storage !
