Are you as candle-obsessed as I am? If so, you probably have a lineup of candles scattered around your home. Most come in plain glass or tin with a big label slapped on the side. Not exactly the most aesthetic addition to your space, is it?

That’s why we launched our candle line a few months ago. Not only are our candles hand-poured with soothing fragrances and 100% soy wax, but each one comes in a handcrafted ceramic holder you’ll want to keep forever. And the best part? Once your candle’s finished, you’re left with a beautiful piece of pottery that can be repurposed in so many creative ways. Here are a few of my favorites:

desk organization

Our candles come in both small and large sizes, making them perfect for desk organization. The tall vessel is ideal for corralling pens, markers, or scissors, while the smaller one is just right for paper clips, sticky notes, or even jewelry.

crafts 

This one’s for our fellow artists, makers, and crafters. The tall holder works beautifully for storing paintbrushes, colored pencils, or pottery tools. You can even use it as a rinse cup when painting or to hold water for gouache and watercolor. The smaller size doubles as a paint palette, glaze holder, or a container for knitting notions, beads, or other craft supplies.

greenery

Plant lovers know you can never have too many vessels. Use the tall holder as a vase for fresh flowers, the small one as a planter for succulents or herbs, or either size for water propagation. Each option offers something handmade that’s both functional and stylish.

When in doubt, you can always bring it full circle and use your vessel for candles again. Pop in a tealight for instant ambiance, or pick up a refill kit and pour a fresh soy candle right into your handmade holder.

more quick ideas

• In the bathroom: hold cotton rounds, Q-tips, or bath salts
• In the kitchen: keep utensils handy, store sea salt, or grow herbs
• For gifting: fill with chocolates, bath bombs, or small treasures as a unique wrap

There are endless ways to repurpose our handmade ceramic candle holders once you finish your candle. Whether you’re passionate about sustainable living, supporting small businesses, or simply filling your home with unique pieces that aren’t mass-produced, these vessels are designed to live on long after the flame goes out.
