Homemade Candle Holders for Mother’s Day!

My preschool teacher friend, Molly, made these adorable candle holders with her students last week. As soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to post them on the blog. They are so easy to make!

Supplies:

• A glass jar of some type. Could be an old baby food jar, a canning jar or any other used glass jar.
• Mod Podge – gloss finish
• Paint brushes or foam brushes
• Scissors
• Tissue paper of various colors, cut into pieces 
• Optional: Ribbon, stickers, glitter glue

How to:

• Have your child cut or rip the tissue paper into pieces (the size depends on the size of the jar you are using).
• Paint Mod Podge onto the jar and place the tissue paper over the wet area.
• Cover entire jar with tissue paper pieces. Create overlaps with the tissue paper.
• Once jar is covered, thinly coat the tissue paper with Mod Podge and let dry.
• Optional final touches: Tie a ribbon around the jar, add stickers or add shimmer by painting on glitter glue.
• So simple and so adorable. Use a standard tea light candle or a flame-less candle to illuminate!
