Festive tips - how to reuse your Recycled Candles paper carrier bag!

We recently received an email from long time fan of Recycled Candles, Sue Morris which made us smile - a lot. Sue has been using one of our carrier bags as an aid to baking her Christmas cake. Seriously! Here's what she told us:

"I thought it might amuse and entertain you to know that just about now, every year for the past five years or so, one of your brown paper carrier bags has had a starring role.  I cut one of the larger sides and the base away, leaving one wide flat side and the two narrow sides. Tipped over, this makes a sort of low wide bridge. PERFECT for putting over your Christmas cake in the oven at that critical stage to stop it browning too much!. The paper is so wonderfully sturdy, the same one has lasted all this time. Getting it out each year is a bit like getting the Christmas decorations out of the loft … So even your bags are to your recycling credit."

Thanks so much Sue, you made our day!
