Tutorial – Upcycle Tuna can to a Candle holder

Hello friends,

Are you fond of candles ? I love candles and don’t miss any opportunity to buy the ones with a good fragrance – especially the vanilla ones from Ikea.

Tuna can makeover (1)

As much as I love candles, I find, the hardened remnants of the candles after burning, quite annoying. Hence I thought up of a simple solution, to save my candle stands from repeated abuse by the excess wax clumps.

Upcycle tuna can

The tuna cans/containers can hold the candles by themselves or can be placed on the candle stand.

Whats even great is, once the wax hardens in the can/container, it can be easily heated with a lighter to melt the wax !!

Simple – isn’t it ?

So here, I am showing how we can dress up a tuna can.

I think what I really like about the container makeover, is that it can stand alone or be placed on a candle stand, and it makes a shabby chic impact.

Adding embellishments is an optional step. I’ve added pearls to the lace bcoz twine, lace and pearls are my favorite combo.

If you intend to dress up a Valentines day decor or a mantle, having a couple of these would really add a touch of elegance.

I hope you like this makeover as much as I do, and might even consider attempting something similar !

I am sharing this project with my blog buddies here .

I am in the process of making candle holders and never thought to use tuna cans. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing at the Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Party.

As someone whose New Years resolution is to start burning all the candles she has been buying and use them instead of toss them, that is a great idea that I am definitely going to try!

This is such a great idea! I, too, hate the remnants left behind after burning candles. What a great way to save your candle holders and repurpose your tuna cans. So cute! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
