Some of you may remember those little candles with the tissue paper our kids made in school. They usually came home the last day of school before the Christmas break.
I decided to make some of my own. Here are some beginnings.
I found it a bit tricky as tissue paper is so delicate and I did tear a couple of tiny holes in it as I was trying to lay the paper down so carefully on a mod podged surface. I was delighted to find some glass ware at the thrift store for a couple of dollars and today was gifted 3 cases of mason jars. How great is that! And how cool they look with a tea light candle in them!
There's no end to what you could do as far as designs. I love houses and city scenes so that's what I started with. If I still had a fireplace I would have tons of them on the mantle. Maybe next year I'll remember to start making these in the summer time....... Thanks for stopping by.................xoxoxo Jo.
I am headed over to
"Aimee's place" because it's Glue It Tuesday and there's a lot of fun and good stuff happening over there.
