Frosted Candle Jar

We had this used candle jar and wanted to do something fun with it. This is a great project because you are recycling your glass candles. Loved the end result!

What You Need:

• Glass Candle Jar or Holder
• Rubber Bands
• Frosting Spray Paint

How To Make It:

• Put the used candle in the freezer overnight.

• Once frozen, break the wax with a butter knife and scoop it out. When you have removed the wax, clean the glass. 

• Wrap the glass with rubber bands. 

• Spray frosting spray paint to the glass.
• Once dried, remove rubber bands.
• Yes it is that easy!!!

Christmas Light Canvas

I love how cozy the house feels with the Christmas tree lit up in the evening and decided I needed a little bit more festive lighting in the house.

What You Need:

• 16" x 20" x 1" Canvas (you need the depth to contain the string of lights behind canvas)
• String of Christmas Lights (I had plug-in ones, but battery-operated lights would be good here)
• Awl

How To Make It:

• Use pencil to make marks on canvas where you'll want your lights to come through. I just did random starburst shapes. Be sure to count the marks to make sure you have enough lights.
• Use an awl to poke through canvas and make holes for each bulb to go through.



•  Insert a bulb into each hole and secure with glue (I used a small dab of hot glue). Be sure to keep in mind where the plug end will be if not using battery-operated lights.
• You may need to secure the string between the lights to the back of the canvas so it doesn't stick out so far that you can't hang it on a wall.
