Our Upcycling Tips

Glass jars such as our almond milk concentrate make fabulous little pots for plants like succulents, as they are not in need of drainage and survive on just a little water every now and then. Layer up sand and soil (and coloured gravel such as aquarium stones for a bit of colour!), then lovingly nestle your little plant inside! It will live happily with a dash of sunlight, a drop of water and some love!

Our ceramic candles are the perfect canvas to unleash your creativity! Once used, why not break out some stencils, or let your hands flow freestyle and decorate the outside of the glass, pop a tea-light inside et voila! Customised tea-light or votive holders that will be personalised to suit your décor! Keep it simple with a single stripe of colour around the outside or decorate it with an abstract pattern, it’s up to you!

Our pots of face cream are made of glass and of course can be recycled, but wouldn’t it be a shame to see them go to waste once your cream is finished? Why not make a tea light holder! All you need is a pot, some wire to create the handle and a tea light candle. It will also serve as a good conversation starter if you decorate your dinner table with them next time you have guests over!

Transform an empty shampoo bottle into a self-watering plant bulb to keep your plants hydrated! First, clean the bottle thoroughly. Then, using a pin or small nail, poke a few tiny holes in the cap. Fill the bottle with water, screw on the cap, and turn it upside down, burying the cap into the soil near your plant's roots.

Ok so back to basics, how about a simple vase? Take one of our bottles, tie ribbon or string around the neck, and this can be the simplest way to upcycle! You could also take it up a gear and knot string around the bottle to make a macramé-style hanging container!

Those empty face mask jars are more versatile than you might think. Instead of tossing them into the recycling bin give these sturdy little jars a second life as charming storage containers.
