Reuse: Candle Containers

One of our favorite things to do with our burned out candle containers is to reuse and repurpose them for almost anything! Today, were going to show you some of our favorite ways to repurpose these candle containers, using the candles from our collection online!

We love reusing these beauties as simple yet interested floral vases! They each look absolutely stunning and hold there own unique story.

Okay, we know what you’re thinking. You’re already up to your waist in floral vases. Well, you can repurpose these candle containers for so many other uses around the house too. Hello, bathroom decor!

Fill the empty container with cotton balls and q-tips for gorgeous and unique bathroom decor! We are obsessing over that Mercury Teardrop Votive filled with q-tips!

So what do you do?

The Supplies:

Frozen Candle
Kitchen Knife
Tea Towel (for grip)

Directions:

Place finished candle in the freezer for 4-6 hours, until frozen, overnight is best.
Once frozen, use your tea towel to grip the candle and use the kitchen knife as leverage to “pop” the unused wax out of the candle container. (Make sure the wax and container are completely hard and frozen)
Wash and dry your container and Voila! You are ready you reuse your candle containers!

Will you be trying this super easy way to repurpose your candle containers? You can shop our collection online to get the exact looks shown above! Leave us a comment letting us know how it goes!

Valentines Day Gift Ideas

For some, Valentines Day is stressful; Which flowers should I  buy? Is it too soon for roses? They cost how much ?!!

We at, The White Dahlia would really like to make this holiday less scary and stressful so we can all focus on the true meaning of Valentines Day. Love. Love. and MORE Love! Now, if you don’t have a significant other that doesn’t mean you can’t partake in a little L-O-V-E either; give gifts to family, friends or even take a chance and show that other single cutie what you’ve got to offer (you never know!). Our website has some great options BIG and SMALL!

Red Roses are a classic; but don’t feel you HAVE to get these for your lady – especially if your relationship is new and you’re not sure about sending the wrong message. Get the roses for your wife and that girl you just can’t live without. Know her favorite flower? BONUS if you add it to the rose bouquet!

 You can also get a mixed arrangement like the first image above that has roses in it, but isn’t overpowered with them. Get her flowers that will last a while, like tulips or ranunculus and also be sure to add some fragrance. Or scale it down even more by getting just a small simple bunch of flowers or arrangement, like the one right above, for a new relationship or as an add-on to your additional gifts!

Candles make a great gift also! Try our Fragrance of The Month: Black Gardenia, for an intoxicating floral fragrance that anyone is sure to love.

 Do you have a favorite picture of you and your sweetheart? Pop it in one of our Stoneware Frames and you’ve got yourself an adorable, thoughtful and easy Valentines Day gift! (and for under $30)

We hope this guide helps make your Valentines Day a little less stressful, now go out there and show your honey some LOVE ❤

Easy and Decorative Holiday Gift Wrap

We can’t speak for everyone, but one of the best parts of the holidays is the wrapping of the gifts we give. This is their first impression, a mystery that contains your precious treasures for friends and family.

After all, we spend hours in line and plenty of time spent thinking of and planning that perfect gift. We’ve gathered some easy, fun and decorative ways to zazz up your gifting this time of year, with items from the holiday decor you already have!

We love the way simple store bought candy canes give an interesting texture and color. The holiday ornaments and greenery (use your tree clippings) definitely add fun and festive vibes. Find similar ornaments here. We also had some fun wine tags that we added for extra character! Don’t stress, just have FUN with it!

Will you use any of these ideas when you’re wrapping your gifts? Leave us a comment if you do, we’d love you know! Or tag your pics #thewhitedahliaideas
