Can You Bring Your Own Bottle to Make a Custom Candle?
Yes — you absolutely can. At Turn2Candles, we take your empty wine, whiskey, or liquor bottle and turn it into a hand-poured soy candle with the fragrance you choose.
Whether the bottle is from a wedding, anniversary, vacation, or favorite brand, this option lets it live on as something you’ll actually use and keep.
Why This Is Such a Great Idea
- ♻️ Keeps meaningful bottles out of the trash
- 🎁 Creates a truly personal, one-of-a-kind gift
- 🕯️ Cleaner-burning, longer-lasting soy wax
- 🏠 Adds a unique statement piece to your home
How It Works — Step by Step
Step 1: Bring Your Own Bottle
Send us your clean, empty glass bottle:
- Wine bottles
- Liquor bottles (whiskey, bourbon, etc.)
- Special or sentimental glass bottles
If the bottle is safe to cut, we can usually work with it.
Step 2: We Cut & Prepare It
Each bottle is cleanly cut, sanded, and polished to create a smooth, safe rim. We take our time here — no sharp edges, no shortcuts.
Step 3: Choose Your Fragrance
You’ll choose from our fragrance list, ranging from warm and cozy to fresh and bold. We’re happy to help match the scent to the style of your bottle.
Step 4: Hand-Poured with Natural Soy Wax
Every candle is poured by hand using natural soy wax and quality cotton wicks. The result is a clean, even burn with excellent scent throw.
What You Get
- A one-of-a-kind candle you can’t buy in stores
- A meaningful keepsake made from your own bottle
- A high-quality soy candle that actually performs
