but its recycling and looking a little bit pretty at the same time so here goes!!
take one largish empty coffee jar
shove it in the sink and give it a quick rinse to get all the sticky bits left off the label off the front
take some ribbon that I'm sure your bound to have lying around...
tie it round the jar, add some nice candles.. and voila..
your very own pretty glass candle holder
and then at night pop in a tea light or medium size candle and enjoy the flickering light...
see told you it was a mini makeover..!!
I have candles in glass containers everywhere..I love them. Great mini makeover!
ReplyDeletePerfect finishing touch that ribbon.
Love the glass candle holder, so pretty!

ReplyDeleteI'll have to beg some of those coffee jars, don't buy that brand!
Thanks for sharing!

It might be a mini makeover, but it works to great effect. My candles get tucked away...now I know what I can do with them!! And I'll keep a box of matches with them, y'know, just in case of emergency!!

I love simple ideas - they're usually the best! Thank you so much for sharing this - I intend to provide one for every sill in the house, and pop a book of matches in too for emergencies!
ReplyDeleteNot everyone is blessed with the ability to make the wonderful objects we see on clever folks' blogs, and it's lovely to see something that even a klutz like me can manage!
Many, many thanks!
