In a small craft workshop located in the heart of a bustling city, artist Laura Moreno has revolutionized the way we think about recycling. With a surprisingly simple yet innovative idea, she has started to transform the wax from old candles into beautiful vases, perfect for decorating any home during the holiday season.
Moreno, who has always been fascinated by sustainability and art, explains how she came up with this brilliant idea. “I was cleaning up after a family dinner when I realized how much wax is wasted from candles,” she recalls. “It never occurred to me that this material, which we usually discard without a second thought, could have a second life, and such a beautiful one.”
The creation process is meticulous and demands great attention to detail. First, Laura collects remnants of wax from different candles, which vary in color and fragrance, and melts them in a large container. “Each vase is unique because of the mix of colors and scents that come from the original candles,” she says with a smile. Once melted, the wax is poured into molds of different shapes and sizes, where it is left to cool and solidify. Finally, Laura decorates the vases with painting and engraving techniques, adding a personal touch to each piece.
The result is a collection of vases that are both functional and aesthetically charming. These items not only capture the light in a fascinating way, creating a warm twinkle in any room, but they also emit gentle scents that evoke memories of special evenings. Ideal for being the centerpiece on the Christmas Eve table or as an original gift, these vases have quickly caught the attention of eco-friendly design enthusiasts.
In addition to their visual appeal, Laura Moreno’s wax vases stand out for their commitment to the environment. “Recycling is a powerful way to reduce our environmental impact,” says Laura. “These vases are not only a pretty decorative choice, but also a statement about the importance of reusing and reimagining objects that we would normally throw away.”
Customers who have acquired one of these unique vases have not stopped praising the ingenuity and elegance they bring to their homes. Many express their admiration for how such an everyday and often discarded object has become a timeless work of art. With the growing demand, Moreno plans to expand her product line, even considering collaborations with designers interested in sustainability.
This innovative proposal has captured the attention of ecoactivists and designers alike, becoming an example of how small ideas can make a big impact. Laura Moreno concludes with a message that resonates with current values: “Creativity knows no bounds when it comes to taking care of our planet. Sometimes, the best ideas are right in front of our eyes; we just need to change our perspective.”
