Tonight, hubs headed to the Orioles game, so that means I have the house to myself. Which translated to sushi, reality TV and a trip to Michaels. Which resulted in a mighty fine craft project, if I do say so myself. And now, I shall bestow this creativity on to you.
I made these lovely little candle holders that I'll use on the deck. Or I could hang them outside in the trees for our BBQ on Saturday.
Pretty, right? And really easy. I purchased everything at Michaels. You'll need:
- A mason jar ($1.99)
- Small glass votive holder ($.99)
- Votive candle ($1.69 for 6)
- Ribbon ($.99...I got lucky and found this in the sale bin)
- Pebbles/gems/sand/whatever strikes your fancy (sand would look great for a beach themed party or luau) ($2.49)
Fill the jar with pebbles, tie a ribbon around the top, drop in the votive and the candle and you're done! So easy, but definitely pretty. Happy Fourth of July! I'm testing out a no bake cookie recipe for Saturday, so if that goes well, I'll have to share. Because baking and me, don't exactly play well in the sandbox, so the less I can bake, the better!

Love them! I'm a huge fan of Mason/Atlas Jars. We use them to drink out of regularly in my house and they will be used as flower vases at my wedding & also as candle holders outside.
Yours are cute though with the ribbon! I'm too plain for that :)
