Guide | Candle Jar

Step 1: Glue candlestick on lid

In the first step, I attach the candle holder to the lid of the canning jar.

To do this, I use my hot glue gun and glue the candle holder to the center of the lid.

Step 2: Decorate jar

Then I fill the canning jar.

First, I put the lichens in the jar.

Then I put the dried flowers and larch cones.

Step 3: Attach ribbon

Just below the jar opening, I now add a decorative ribbon.

I knot the ribbon and cut the ends of the ribbon at an angle with the scissors.

Step 4: Put candle on in holder

Now I put the candle in the candle holder and put the lid on the jar.

And the DIY candle jar is ready! I hope this DIY has made you as much fun as me and you like the sight of the candle decoration!
