I’m totally going to re-use this later to store all kinds of things and be super organized!”?.So now, out of all those times that you’ve thought that to yourself, how many of those times did you actually remove the wax and how many times did you just put the burned out candle in a cabinet “to do later”?.

I’ve typically gone about half-way with it and stuck the jars in the freezer for the wax to harden so I could try to crack it out with a knife.They usually stay in the freezer for about 7.5 months on average..The freezer is fine for plain jars where the frozen wax can just slide right out, but if you have anything funky going on with your jar, you’re going to have to go all archaeologist on it.. Here’s what I do now instead:.

Get a jar from a burned out candle.Does anyone else find it hilarious that this candle is called “Kitchen Clean” and you can see piles of dishes waiting to be put away in the back ground?.

It doesn’t really even have to a big bowl bowl.

Just a small amount of cold water will do.. We’re going to melt that wax out!.My mom sent it to me a year ago when we moved in and I hadn’t gotten around to drilling it into the door, so it just sat in a drawer, waiting.. Well, I really wanted to see how it would look with our nice weathered brass kick-plate.

Funny, I never noticed how terrible the door knob is until now.Anyway, the point is that the new door knocker looks great!.

Can you guess how I attached it to the door?.It’s me we’re talking about here..
