Decoupaged Glass Jar Candle Holders with Faux Leaves and Gold Wire

 Learn how to create beautiful decoupaged glass jar candle holders using leaves and gold wire. This DIY project is a perfect way to upcycle old glass jars and create unique candle holders for your home decor. 

I hope you're all doing well. The weather has cooled down and we're enjoying the change. Today, I'd like to share a quick upcycling decoupage project with you all. I had some extra glass yogurt jars lying around and bought two taper candle holders from Target's dollar section. I wasn't sure what to do with them at first. In today's project, I will show you how to decorate small glass jars using faux fall leaves and gold wire.

Materials such as Mod Podge, gold wire, two glass jars, faux leaves, paintbrush and taper candle holders

Materials

You need two taper candle holders, a paintbrush, Mod Podge, faux fall leaves, or a decorative napkin, hot glue, two battery-operated tealight candles, and gold wire. 

Applying Mod Podge and faux leaves to glass jars

To start with, grab a paintbrush and use it to apply Mod Podge on your glass jar. I suggest applying a small amount of Mod Podge to the jar first before applying it to the back of each leaf. After you've applied the Mod Podge to the leaves, use the paintbrush to apply it to the top of each leaf as well. This process requires patience, and you may need to reapply some leaves. To make the process easier, you can use a blow dryer. After placing the leaves onto the glass, cover the entire outer surface with Mod Podge. Let it dry naturally or speed up the process with a blow dryer.

Attaching glass jar to taper candle holder

Apply a small amount of hot glue to the bottom of each glass jar, then place the jars on top of the taper candle holders.

Adding gold wire to glass jars

First, cut a few strands of gold wire. Make sure to cut them in a way that they can fit around the top of the glass jar. Once you have the right size, wrap two sections of gold wire around each jar. Finally, twist off the ends of the wire to keep them in place.

Your decoupaged glass jar candle holder design is now complete and ready to be displayed. I have placed two battery-operated tealight candles inside each jar. This project was incredibly simple, and during the evenings, the jars emit a beautiful glow. I hope that you enjoyed creating this upcycled decoupaged glass jar project. If you decide to create your very own, please let me know. I'll be happy to hear from you. Take care, and I'll see you soon!

Wood Box With Glass Bottles Decorative Centerpiece

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. It has been pretty rainy these past few days. I'm enjoying the rainy weather compared to the really hot days we were getting before.  Today we are working on building a wood box centerpiece. Instead of using the wood crate boxes from Dollar Tree, I wanted to build my own box. For this project, we're using a wood fence picket. I paid $1.48 for one picket, and you can create two boxes with just this one picket. I'm also going to reuse my glass Frappuccino bottles. I will provide a video tutorial as well.  Video tutorial Materials   One wood fence picket- I purchased mine at my local Lowe's for $1.48 Two glass bottles-I am reusing my Starbucks glass bottles Paint Paintbrush Faux greenery Rub-on transfers Wood glue Corner clamps Hot glue One round wooden circle Floral snips Scissors Begin by cutting your wood fence picket.
