DIY

Salsa jar Candle 


If Pinterest has taught me one thing: it's to never throw away any glass jars! This is a combination of DIY projects I have seen on the site. This is quick guide of how I made it...

To start soak jar in warm water untill label falls off and the glass is clean. 

Step one, put tape around the jar. This creates a neat line where the glitter stops.
step two, brush non toxic glue around the outside of the jar, I used PVA because it dries clear.
step three, roll the jar in glitter and leave to dry.
step four, coat glitter in layer of glue to keep in place.
step five, use gutter pen to create dots on the glitter and leave to dry.
step six, use gutter pen to draw on lace design.
finally, put bow around top with two strands of embroidery thread.

Oh and put a tea-light inside to complete.
