twig candle

I made this candleholder using a mason jar and some decorative paper. I made six of them and I’m going to place them in a row on my Thanksgiving table.

Materials:

  • glass jar (Use one that is straight up and down, not tapered.)
  • velum paper
  • decorative translucent paper
  • leaf
  • twine
  • twigs
  • hot glue gun

cut a piece of paper that is long enough to go around jar

Step 1.

Cut a piece of velum paper that is the same height as the jar and long enough to overlap slightly. Cut a piece of decorative paper the same size.

wrap paper around jar and tape

Step 2.

Wrap the velum paper around the jar and tape. This will add some crispness when you add the decorative paper.
