We always buy the yummy-smelling BIG vanilla candles at Zellers (Candle-lite) that come in a jar with top. They are about 5.99 each. I always have one here ready to light/use, and I re-use the jars afterward!
I saw Lois' note that she uses Mason Jars for her ribbon and flowers! That's a great idea, and reminded me that I use my Candle-lite jars for those things!
I have 3 of them in use right now here in my office. They are pretty big, a 6" high jar, 18 oz in weight each when filled with candle wax.
So: these are pretty and easy to open too.
How do I get the wax out? THAT NEEDS a NEW POST! I will get right on that!
