It is a long story, but my family has accumulated a lot of candles over the years, but not in a form that we really want to use regularly. In short, we have been melting other candles or what was left of other damaged candles & making new candles that we will be more likely use. Candles of about this size in a tin with a lid are the candles we burn most because they are safer, less messy & can close up when not using.These are 8oz candle tins which I think is a good size, not too big & not too small. The design on the lid is a bit different with the lip being inside rather than wrapping over outside edge of the tin. The bottom of the tin has a recess which means you can sit the candle on the lid very nicely when using & then move to the top to close when not burning. I would advise being careful when pouring wax into the tin to try to avoid getting wax into the crease for the lid. It is harder to clean out & some dyes will stain the paint. I’m happy to put some old candles to a new use rather than just throwing them away into a landfill.
