Mason Jar Candle Holder

Mason Jar Candle Holder - DIY

Simple DIY candle holder that can add dramatic shades to your hall.
You need a empty glass jar, some glue(fevicol), some glitter and satin ribbon.

I have used an empty jam jar as it is easy to peel of its label.
Draw any shapes of your choice on the outer surface of jar using a sketch pen. Apply glue on the inside of the drawn outline of shapes and sprinkle the glitter over it. Gently shake excess glitter and let the jar dry. Decorate with satin ribbon and add a candle of your choice inside the jar.

With the glitter it gets quite messy around, so make sure you use some old newspapers as your base work area.
