Bubble 2-in-1 Vase and Candle Holder: How to Use Both Ways

Quick answer

Use the Bubble 2-in-1 Vase & Candle holder as a vase for fresh or dried flowers in spring and summer, then turn it around and place a candle in the holder for autumn and winter. The key is to keep the two functions separate: never burn a candle while the glass holds water or flowers.

How to use the Bubble both ways, step by step

1. Start with a clean, dry base: Wipe the glass inside and out with a soft cloth before switching functions. Common mistake: leaving water residue in the candle holder, which can make the candle slip or burn unevenly. A dry base is the checkpoint before any candle goes in.
2. Set up the vase side for flowers: Turn the Bubble so the vase opening faces up, add fresh water, and place a short bouquet or a few stems. Common mistake: overfilling the vase, which makes the flowers top-heavy and can spill when you move it. Fill only to a level that leaves room for the stems.
3. Switch to the candle holder side: Remove all water and flowers, dry the glass completely, then turn the object around so the candle holder opening faces up. Place a white or coloured candle that sits straight and secure. Common mistake: rushing the switch and leaving moisture inside, which can affect how the candle sits. Never burn a candle in the same setup that holds water or flowers.
4. Check candle fit before lighting: The product details do not list a candle size, so test the candle in the holder before lighting it. It should sit upright without wobbling. Common mistake: forcing a candle that is too wide, which can chip the glass. If the candle does not sit flat, choose a different candle rather than forcing it.
5. Place it where it can be seen from both sides: Because the Bubble is designed with pretty curves and colour combinations, position it on a shelf, desk or table where the glass is visible. Common mistake: pushing it into a corner where the coloured glass is hidden. Treat the object as decor even when it is not holding flowers or a candle.
6. Store or reset between seasons: When you change seasons, empty the vase, clean and dry the glass, and store it upright or wrapped so the curves are not pressed against hard objects. Common mistake: storing it with water inside, which can leave marks or odour. A dry, padded storage spot keeps the glass ready for the next switch.
