Sunday Afternoon Decorative Candle Jar (this works!)
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:32 am
For this you need:
An old candle jar from which you've removed labels and wax residue. The kind I'm using looks like this with the lid removed:
I'm sure these would work as well:
A hot glue gun.
And I bought a bag of multi color flat stones from Wal Mart (in the silk flower section) for $1.97:
All you do is randomly hot glue the flat aquarium gem stones all over the outside of the glass candle jar. The color of the stones I used in the multi color bag are : clear, ruby red, and pink/peach color.
I've already decorated 4 jars from one $1.97 bag of decorative stones. The stones can be removed by prying them if you need to change the placement so be careful how you handle the jar once it's done. The stones will come off if you inadvertently knock it against something.
Enjoy!
