Glass Painted Candle Holder
Recycle some little glass jars into these sparkling glass
painted candle holders! Quick and easy for kids to do - and very special.
You will need: A small glass jar
Craft wire
Glass paint Instructions:
Wrap the wire tightly around the top of the jar, then 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. Wrap the wire around again and twist the end on to some of the
other coils of wire to secure everything in place. Younger children may want
some help with this from an adult, but it really isn't too difficult to do
once you get the hang of it.
 Decorate the jar with glass paints. We have
just used simple dots or gold and silver but you can make yours as colourful
and decorative as you like. Match it in with your house's colour scheme, or
choose Christmas or Diwali colours. Now you can add a tea-light and either
hang your little lantern up or display on a table.
NB: Children should not light candles unless an adult is supervising,
and candles should never be left unattended.
