How to Make a Bejeweled Tea Light Candle Holder
Select the jar., Draw a design.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Select the jar.
The best type of jar is one that is short, squat and has a wide mouth.
Suitable jars would include large baby food jars, salsa jars and small, wide condiment jars.
Wash out the jar, remove all labels and glue blobs and let dry. -
Step 2: Draw a design.
Based on the artificial gemstones, sequins, buttons, glitter and whatever else you've got to decorate with, plan the design you'd like for the jar.
It helps to draw it on paper and match the decorative elements to the drawing, checking that you have enough pieces to complete the design.
This will make it easy to follow when putting the jar together.
A simple but very effective design is to arrange a gemstone at even intervals around the center of the jar.
Then, use a marker suitable for writing on glass to create a border around the gemstones.
This is the design that will be used to explain the process for the remainder of the article.
If using for a wedding, party or other special occasion, try matching the colors to the theme of the event.
