Beaded Candle Holder

When you light a tea light in this pretty beaded candle
holder, no-one will guess that it is a recycled glass jar! Use pretty glass
or plastic beads for a lovely stained-glass effect.
You will need: A small glass jar
Craft wire
Beads Instructions:
Wrap the wire tightly around the top of the jar. Make a loop of
wire over the top of the jar to make a handle. Feed under the wire around
the jar rim and pass back over to make another loop. Twist the two loops
together.

Feed some beads on to the wire, widely spaced out.
Twist the wire around the body of the jar. When you have wrapped around
all of the wire, twist the end into the wire around the rim to hold
everything in place. Older children can try making a much more intricate
design using very thin silver wire and looping it around the beads to keep
them in place. Silver and "pearl" beads look very pretty at Christmas.
