Get ready to get creative this fall with DIY upcycled glass candle decorations. Follow this easy step-by-step guide to transform old glass jars into beautiful seasonal decor pieces.
I will demonstrate how to create two fall candle decorations using glass jars. You will only need a few materials to get started. If you're ready, let's begin!

Materials
Glass jars
fall decorated leaves
faux fall leaves
Acrylic paint
Twine or craft string
Hot glue
Paintbrush
Mod Podge
Battery-operated tealight candles
Applying paint and Mod Podge
Begin by mixing paint and Mod Podge. I decided to do this for my jars to give them more of a stained-glass appearance.
I went with brown and orange for my jars.
Adding napkin cut-outs and faux leaves
After cutting out your napkin designs, use Mod Podge to adhere them to your first jar. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before adding each cutout to the jar. Apply Mod Podge to the jar, place the design over the Mod Podge, and then use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge over the cutouts.
For the next jar, use hot glue to attach the faux leaves to the bottom section of the jar.
Adding twine to the jars
Next, take the twine and add some to each of the jars. Loop the twine around the top of each jar. Once you've decided on the amount you want for each jar, use scissors to cut off the leftover twine and tie it off.

Your jars are complete and aren't they just perfect for the fall season? All that's left is to place a battery-operated candle inside each jar. These jars make a beautiful addition to any fall decor.

DeleteI love upcycling glass jars as candle holders, but I've only decorated them once. I love these ideas, simple yet really pretty
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute!!! A while ago I bought some similar jars and I intend to paint something on them. But this could also work fantastically!
ReplyDeleteMaya, thank you! Yes, give it a try. I love reusing jars for different projects. It's always so fun. :)
DeleteThis is such a fantastic way to upcycle glass jars, I think my kids would love to have a go at making some. #MMBC
