Today I’ll show you how you can easily decorate a candle jar with flowers and hair ties! I have already shown the rubber trick with this lantern idea. There, the household rubber is hidden under a decorative band. In this DIY, the hair tie will be the eye catcher! It will hold the dried flowers and silk flowers that are arranged around the candle jar.

I used these materials for the candle jar decoration: a candle jar with a wooden lid, three hair ties without metal in different colors and flowers. I use artificial flowers and dried velvet grass (Rabbit’s Tail Grass, Lagurus ovatus).

DIY Guide | Decorate candle jar with flowers and hair ties
Step 1: Cut the flowers
In the first step I cut the artificial flowers and the dried flowers to about one length with the scissors.

I measure the length on the glass and make sure that the flowers cannot reach the candle flame later.

Step 2: Attach hair tie to candle jar
Now I take a hair tie and pull it over the glass.

I slide it to the top of the glass.
Step 3: Insert flowers
Now I simply put the flowers between the hair tie and the glass.

Step 4: Attach remaining hair ties
Once all the flowers are in, I simply pull the remaining two hair ties over the stems. As always, the tip for real candles: make sure that the decoration cannot burn!
