When designing the candle, we always had reuse in mind. We were never going to make a throwaway item - it had to be something beautiful, with a feather-light environmental footprint, that could be treasured as an object after the candle inside has burned away. So we hope very much you will find another use for it.

Here is a simple method to remove any lingering wax and prepare your candle vessel for its new purpose:

1. Let the candle cool completely, then place it in the freezer overnight. 2. The next day, allow the vessel to come to room temperature for about an hour. Gently turn it upside down and tap the base with the palm of your hand to dislodge the hardened wax. If needed, use the handle of a spoon to help ease any wax out. 3. If the metal base holding the wick remains, carefully remove it with a pair of pliers. 4. Finally, wipe the inside of the vessel with a damp, soapy cloth, until it’s sparkling clean.
