After Christmas we had lots of glass jars from either mince meat, jam or different spreads so I used some of these to store my makeup brushes in. But I wanted another way to up-cycle these jars and I was doing the usual browse on tumblr when I saw someone using jars to make pretty, shabby chic candle holders.
Here's what you will need:
1 Tealight
1 Glass jar
1 strip of either ribbon, netting or fabric to decorate
PVA glue
Here is how to make them:
1. Clean your jar remove all stickers just warm water will do this job well.
2. Get your piece of ribbon, netting/ decorative item and wrap it around your jar. If tied tight enought it should stay in place fine but if not put a little blob of ova glue on the jar then stick your item on top.
3. Now you may need a responsible adult to help you with this bit, light your tea light and then carefully place on top of the jar and drop it in place.
And there we have our pretty candle holder and you can just replace the tea light when it runs out.
