mason jar candle


Candles are a great decoration for your home because they can be both a beautiful decoration, and a useful thing to have around for light and to add a fragrant throughout your home. everyone has those ugly candles that do not look the best out for everyone to see so they hide then in their cupboard for years, I know some people are really bothered when the candles do not match. a way to hid an ugly candle and make your candles match is to make a decorative candle holder. A really easy and fun craft you can do if a mason jar with clear pebbles glued on around it. It is as easy as two steps, glue and light. The effect that the candle makes is also very mesmerizing, the pebbles reflect the candle's light and makes it looks as if the lights are dancing all around the table surface when the candle's lights flickers.
What you will need:
one mason jar
hot glue gun
a lot of colored but slightly see through glass pebbles.
small candle that can fit in a mason jar. It’s easiest if the candle already has its own glass holder.

Step one: use hot glue gun to attach pebbles to mason jar.

tip- using different colored pebbles can add a cool effect and if you use different colored pebbles you can created patterns when gluing them on.
tip- be careful of hot glue but also go quick because the hot glue will dry fast when applied
tip- test out how the pebble looks on the mason jar before you glue is on because once it is on, there is no going back. if you mess us and didn't calculate correctly and end up with a space that you cannot fit a marble in, it is possible to break a marble and make it fit. it may not be the best way to do so but you can barely tell and you can always just turn that side so no one sees it. i did exactly that and unless you look closely is just blends in with the rest.

Step two: place candle inside mason jar and you are done!! It is as easy as two steps!

tip- the brighter the candle is the more of a reflection of light you will get from the pebbles.
tip- the lower the candle is the more of the pebbles it is able to reflect off of.
