Candles are great to have around the home, they add light and can be a cheap replacement for air fresheners. But why just have tea lights placed here and there? Add decoration to the candles by putting them into a candle holder.
I created these candle holders by simply painting recycled baby food jars. With the simple design they would look great sat on anyones table!
Things you'll need:
Baby food Jars(or any other small jar) - washed
Masking tape
Masking tape
Emulsion paint
Paint brush
Tea light candles
1. Make sure you're jars are washed and dried, Tape off the section you wish to be painted - I used black electrical tape because I didn't have any masking tape at the time, though I would advice that masking tape is the better option. Remember, you can paint what you want, be as creative as you like!
2. Paint the jar with the colour you have chosen. I used a matt emulsion but you could you use specialised glass paints if you like. I did 3 coats of paint to make sure that the light wouldn't travel through the paint too much.
3. Once the paint has dried peel off the tape - ta da! your own DIY candle holder. Place the tea light candles inside and light.
