You know how to make a seat from your old magazines, but there’s also that other niggly problem: what to do when a candle burns right to the end. A candle worth having in your home is often one that comes in a little jar that’s as nice to look at as the candle is to smell.

Use it as a potplant. It’s not as outside-the-box as the magazine seat, by any means, but it’s a reminder that if something’s too good to throw away, you should probably find a way to keep it.

This is just one idea for a candle jar of many: what do you use them for?
