An eco-friendly candle lantern; pretty, useful and bringing light to the darkness . . . ecologically, of course! ~ Linne
At this time of year it’s easy to overspend, perhaps we don’t have anything to spend, or we just want to reuse, rather than add to the clutter in the world. Here is a very quick and easy candle holder to make, that addresses the points above.
All you need is a clean glass jar with the label removed, a paper doily, a piece of wire if you wish to hang your candle, some Mod Podge and a tealight candle.
Simply cut the paper doily in half, paste the Mod Podge on the jar, and place the doily on top, one half on each side of the jar. I chose to put the cut half on the bottom of the jar. Then paste more Mod Podge over the doily. If you want a handle, wrap a piece of wire around the top of the jar and then curve a second…

A few years ago (quite a few…we have been living on Serendipity Farm for 3 years now…) when we lived on the fringes of the city, I started collecting pretty jars with the idea that I would make something like this. Needless to say, the real world got in the way and those jars are still sitting on the small deck that Steve and I made out the back underneath the large flowering cherry and sycamore, full of brown water and leaves waiting for “brown water and leaves” to suddenly become de riguer for Christmas decorations… lucky glass doesn’t biodigrade isn’t it? 😉
Narf7, that sounds so like me, I just had to laugh . . . Ideas are rife (cheap and not time-consuming, too); I have supplies to make so many things, and ideas for so many more, that for sure the worst will never come to pass: to spend my last years sitting around idle, having run out if things to do . . . 😉
BTW, I hear that brown is still in favour, so your jars should lend just the right touch to your elegant and very chi-chi home . . . 😉 😉 😉
Funnily enough I made these for a friend, painting them with paint mixed with PVA (mod podge?) and she was stoked. 🙂
You wouldn’t have a photo somewhere, would you? I’d love to see yours . . . Hugs, and I hope you’ve had a great day! ~ Linne

I never got to taking pics sadly. I’m awful at remembering to take photos (terrible for blogging reasons and memories alike) but thankfully Lynda is a better blogger and photographer than I am. 🙂
Thanks for the link; I’ll check it out later. Just waiting for Mum to arrive back from my sister’s. Glad you are taking pictures these days . . . blogging is good for lots of things, eh?
