Jar Lid and Jar Candle Decoration Create a personal look to your Jar candle and Jar lid Written by Expressive Candles Supplies Needed: Most items can be found around
house or in a craft store. Jar Candle with lid – with removable plastic bottom Craft Glue Paint ScissorsDecorating Candle Jars and Lids is a fun and easy project for all ages. You can use many different craft items to embellish your jar and lid. If you are really creative, you could even make a snow globe out of
lid. But we are going to go over a few inexpensive ideas to turn your Jar into an attractive looking and still functional decoration.
Most jar lids come with a plastic under cap, which can be taken off by a screw driver. In this space you can add many different things, from dried flowers to an elaborate scene.
One of my favorite things to do is to add fake flowers and greens to my lid, typically using
same color flower as my jar wax. Everything can be placed at
top of
lid and adding green leaves to keep it secure.
Sand, Rocks or Marble pieces can add a different look to
lid. One great idea is to use different layers of colored sand. Just make sure you fill it to
top, because
under cap will have a little bit of space. You'll get
same look as those colored bottles that you can buy at fairs. For rocks, try using some Aquarium rocks, as they come in multiple colors.
You can add a more personal touch by adding a picture or personal message in
lid. Just cut
picture to fit
lid and put some kind of background behind it. One idea is to use a nice piece of colored felt or velvet fabric. By adding enough fabric, you can be assured
picture will stay where it is. I do not recommend using glue on
top of
lid, as it will be visible.
