Upcycled Glass Jar Fall Décor With Leaf Lights

Hello everyone. I hope this week is treating you well. Today we are creating a very simple decoration. I decided to upcycle a glass jar and turn it into a Fall decoration. If you have any glass jars with lids, this craft is perfect for reusing those jars.

Paint, and glass candleholder on a table

Start by applying paint to your glass candleholder.  I gave my candleholder around two coats of paint. I went ahead and used my blow dryer between coats.

Next, take the lid from your glass jar and apply some paint. I applied two coats of paint to my lid.

Apply paint to your mini pumpkin. I decided to combine two paint colors. I used orange and red for my pumpkin.  If you decide to leave your pumpkin as is, that is just fine.

Take your craft rope and begin to add it to your glass jar using your hot glue. Be sure that when adding your rope, add it just below the section where the lids screw onto it. Take your scissors cut off any remaining rope and glue the ends down.

After, take your painted lid and glue it on your faux fall leaves. Once you add your leaves, take your mini pumpkin and glue it in the middle on top of your leaves.

You are now ready to attach your jar to your candleholder. Using some hot glue, add it to the top section of your candleholder. Once you have added your glue, take your glass jar and place it on top.

All that is left is to add your fall leaf lights inside your glass jar. You can still place your lid on top, and I was able to turn my lid even with the wire from my lights. 

You can easily use this as a light display, or a fall candy jar.
