There’s a vendor at the Larchmont Village Farmer’s Market (Los Angeles) that sells lovely scented soy candles for $10 (The Farmer’s Market Candle). The candle container is a simple glass votive, and if you are like me and love candles, you’ll end up with a loads of empty glass containers around the house. Instead of trashing the containers after I’ve burned through the candles, I like to repurpose them.

In this project, I used strips of my beloved Happy Tape, to decorate the outside of the empty glass votive. Before applying tape, I used Goo Gone, soap, water and glass cleaner (not all at the same time) to get the glass sparkling clean.

It’s a super easy project, and you can fill these containers with pens and pencils, votive candles, flowers, etc.

Happy Friday!
