Festive Upcycling: Turn Old Dhoop Jars Into Home Accents 

      Tanu Bhatnagar

Clean the jar thoroughly and add pebbles for drainage. Fill it with soil and a small succulent for a cute, low-maintenance decor piece. 

Mini Planters for Succulents 

Sand the outside of the clear plastic jar lightly for a frosted effect. Place an LED tea light inside (avoid real flames as plastic can melt). Decorate with vinyl stickers or permanent markers. 

Jar to Tealight Holder 

Wrap jute rope tightly around the entire jar to give it a rustic, handcrafted look. Once fully covered, insert a few decorative feathers to create a charming, earthy accent perfect for festive corners or cozy shelves. 

Rustic Feather Vases 

Old jars make perfect single-stem vases. Fill them with marigolds or wildflowers for an earthy festive centerpiece. 

Use as Flower Vases 

Tiny dhoop jars are ideal for storing puja essentials—kumkum, turmeric, akshat. Label and organize your ritual shelf beautifully.
