We don’t just upcycle bottles—we transform memories.

Your Bottle, But Make It Eternal

Bring us a bottle you love—we’ll cut it, grind it, polish it, and pour it into a one-of-a-kind candle. Whether it’s tied to a toast, a memory, or just your favorite drink, we’ll turn it into something worth lighting.

Each piece is handled with care, but glass can be unpredictable. Breakage is rare—but possible. By submitting your bottle, you accept the risk and the beauty of the process.

How it works

Step 01

We use state of the art equipment to carefully cut your glass bottle.

Step 02

Then we use a six-step process to smooth and polish the edges to perfection.

Step 03

We hand wash and dry to ensure there is no residue left.

Step 04

Then we hand pour with premium soy wax mixed with one of our signature clean burning scents.

Frequestly Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered.

  • It starts with you: carefully pack your bottle using plenty of bubble wrap, peanuts or paper filler, and mark the box fragile—this helps it arrive safely at our workspace. Once we receive it, we cut the bottle, grind the edges smooth, polish it to perfection, and hand-pour it with your chosen scent. Every step is done in-house with intention, precision, and a whole lot of love.

  • A: Glass has a mind of its own. While we handle every bottle with care, there’s always a small risk it could crack or break during the cutting process—especially if it’s been chilled, aged, or is made from thinner glass. If that happens, we’ll notify you right away. Unfortunately, we can’t replace your bottle, so please only submit ones you’re okay parting with if the unexpected happens.

    Also important:

    • Bottles written on with Sharpie or marker? That will come off during our cleaning and prep.

    • Paper labels can sometimes tear or wear down, since we use water-based tools and hand-wash everything. If your label is sentimental, let us know—we’ll do our best to preserve it.

  • A: Custom candles typically take 10–14 business days from the time we receive your bottle. Need it faster? Let us know—we’ll do our best to make it happen, but a rush fee may apply.

  • A: We offer two Certified Clean fragrance oils for your custom candle:

    • Signature Sweet: A bright, lush blend of grapefruit, mango, and vanilla.

    • Spice: A warm, earthy mix of amber, sandalwood, and leather.

    Each scent is hand-poured for a clean, luxurious burn that feels as good as it smells.

    Looking for something more specific or sentimental? Custom scent blends are available upon request—just ask! (Additional fees may apply depending on availability and complexity.)

"I sent in a bottle from our wedding night and it came back as the most beautiful candle. The finish was clean, the scent was amazing, and it just felt so special. Now every time I light it, I’m right back in that moment."
