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
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.
