Birthday Candle Storage

Let’s be honest… birthday candles tend to end up in that chaotic black hole we call the junk drawer. You know the one—candles shoved into a Ziploc bag, dusty frosting still stuck to the side of a “2,” and no idea if you’re pulling out a cute pastel or a half-burned number nine.

I needed something that was organized, easy to grab, and let’s be real… aesthetically pleasing. So, I got creative. And what I came up with turned out so well, I now sell the whole kit already assembled. (More on that in a second 👇)

Here’s the Storage Solution:

I used this Plastic Organizer Box with Dividers. It’s originally made for crafts or hardware, but it works perfectly for organizing candles by type, color, or occasion.

I removed some of the dividers to make space for longer candles and grouped similar ones together—like numbers, stripes, sparkles… all in their own little compartments.

Now? It’s a game-changer. I just pull down the box, grab a lighter, and I’m ready to party—no mystery bag of waxy weirdness required.

I removed the some of the dividers and added the candles.
