Long time no see! Thought I would drop off a quick "How to" project for you guys. I made these candle holders in about 5 minutes! Yup, super easy and inexpensive! Check it out:

What you will need: Glass jars (I used old jars I had in my cabinets. It's ok if they are different sizes), String, twine, raffia, small rope, etc., center object: I used starfish but you could use whatever you like ie. bows, buttons, shells, beads, jewels), scissors and a hot glue gun. |

Add a spot of glue to jar and start wrapping the string around jar. Continue wrapping until you reach your desired look. I went around approx. seven times. Repeat process on all jars. Try to make them all meet at the same point, no matter the size and shape of the jars. I began and ended my string at the front because my starfish were going to hide it easily. |

Glue your decorative piece to the front...staying on the same level for each jar. |

Finished product: I added small LED candles and placed the jars in my bathroom. *I purchased the LED candles from Target (on clearance) for a little under $3, for six. Give this project a try and let me know what you think. Feel free to send me your finished project and I will be more than happy to post it on my facebook page CreativelyYours, Donielle |
