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. I'd like to share a quick upcycling decoupage project with you all today.
I had some extra glass yogurt jars 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 Needed:
- Two taper candle holders
- A paintbrush
- Mod Podge
- Faux fall leaves or a decorative napkin
- Hot glue
- Two battery-operated tealight candles
- 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. Apply 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 a glass jar to a 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!
