Candle Jar Becomes New Friend To Basil

My husband bought me these really cool and artsy looking candles at Pier 1 and I could not bring myself to throw them away. So I decied to see how I could salvage these. I love fresh herbs and enjoy bringing in plants and foliage into my kitchen. See, I love to cook and I have quite a few fans... ok, my husband and my kids, but they count too! Here are some simple directions to prepare your candle jar to become a friend to your fresh herbs.

What you'll need:

stove

empty candle jar

spoon

oven mit

paper towels

potted plant of herbs

1) Heat stove to a low setting and place jar ontop of coils until you see the wax melt

2) With oven mit, hold glass (I think I get a duh, for this one) gently scrape away wax and metal disk from inside glass with spoon.

3) Wipe away excess wax with napkins.

4) Let cool

5) Take potted herbs and gently pull up soil from the plastic container.

6) Re-pot herbs inside of the cool candle glass.

Yay, you did it! Now go enjoy your the rest of your day and find a way to use your hebs for a delicious and tasty meal!
