Tested: Clean used candle jars

2girlsandapin tested candle jar cleaning and repurposing

We stumbled upon this piece of Pinterest gold and it was originally pinned from here.

I’ve been eyeing this pin, I found on Pinterest forever ago, in hopes of someday figuring out a way how to reuse and repurpose all those used candle jars that had minuscule amounts of wax left at the bottom. Finally, I gave this post a read and realized it is stupid easy to do and doesn’t require anything other than boiled water! So, let me walk you through what I experienced as I was following this pin’s instructions…

Water stains removed with lemon tested by 2 Girls and a Pin

Too good to be true?

When I first saw this pin, I thought to myself “OMG! If this really works, I am going to wee, wee all the way home .” I almost held my breath, no joke.

DIY Shower Curtain from Ikea Sheets – Part I

Sewing the curtain

We’ve been living in rental properties for years now. And every time we move, my husband reminds me how I shouldn’t be making any holes in the walls or purchasing expensive customized items.

2 Girls and A Pin DIY Vintage Blouse Upcycled with Lace

Sweet potato! That back is hot!

I’ve been seeing shirts with lace back insert pop up here and there for a while now. But, I could never bring myself to pay $30-$60 for something that looked like a basic shirt with a small lace insert, especially since I could easily do this myself. So I decided to do it and do it under $10.
