I love finding things around the house that can be repurposed. For Xmas I decided to make one of my best friends a candle, a frame, and some tasty margarita mix and glass set. The margarita mix was already made, but I still had to figure out what to do for the candle and frame. I always save pasta sauce jars and I was excited to finally find something to do with them.
For the jars, the only supplies you would need are:
- Pasta Sauce Jar
- Paint
- Paint brush
- Lace
- Ribbon
- Tea Light Candle
Make sure your jar is clean! You have to get all of the adhesive
off before you start to paint!
I started off by pain two coats of the silver metallic paint
to only the middle section of the jar.
After it was dried, I used the spray adhesive to glue
the cut lace onto the painted area. I had already cut the
lace prior to painting the jar. I made it a bit longer so
that the lace would go beyond the top a bit.
Lastly, I cut a piece of ribbon and tied a little bow
around the top of the jar, and dropped a tea light
into the jar. And viola! Candle complete!
For the frame, the only supplies you would need are:
- Picture Frame (any frame)
- Scrap Paper
- Cardstock Paper
- Computer w/printer
The frame was simple, I used word to write the saying that
I preferred then printed it on cardstock paper so it would
be more sturdy. I cut the saying out and put it on the scrap
paper and framed it. This was the simplest idea ever!
Needless to say, she loved her gifts! I didn't want to take a pic
of the candle lit because I was giving it away, but I will make
another one soon so I can show it off.
