In my family we have a few odd traditions. Where we spend our Thanksgiving depends on where the Egg Bowl is played that year. We watch the Christmas Story 24 hour event every Christmas. And we drink milk out of frozen mason jars. People that come to my apartment say it's quite strange. If you were to open my freezer you would see about ten of these said jars. I decided to downsize the number of jars, but needed something creative to do with a few of them. Of course I would turn to Pinterest for this project. I found this
article in my research of crafty things to do with my jars, now all I needed was some spare time. Between teaching, lesson planning, daily chores, and a social life, my spare time is just that.
Two weekends ago I had a free weekend. Stefan was at UAB working the MSU v. UAB game. I had some friends come into town from the coast. While I was waiting on my friends to arrive I decided to dive into making my jars into tea light candle holders.
The materials needed.
Put the twine on the jars in different designs. It helps to tape the the ends to the inside or on the bottom.
It's also nice to have some helping hands! (Thanks, Mom!)
Jars after coats of white spray paint. I put 1-2 coats.
Let it dry for 10 minutes.
Take the twine off and you have beautiful tea light candle holders!
Pretty easy, don't you think?
