I wanted to share one of my FAVORITE projects for this 5 Week Series today.
I've
seen people make candy jars out of mason jars or old salsa jars. Which is a great idea... but I'm not really into mason jars when
it comes to decorative jars. I like things to look a little more classy. I wanted to bring this concept to the next level.
After brainstorming a bit, it hit me!
I had a bunch in a cupboard that were almost all used up!
YAY!
So
here's a really quick way (like only 5 minutes!) to make adorable candy jars
with stuff you already have around the house (you can't beat free!)


You'll need:
-Yankee Candle Jar(s) washed out.
-Candle stick(s) -I used some glass ones from the dollar store.
-Super Glue that works on glass -I suggest Gorilla Super Glue, it works best.
Trace around the candle stick where you want it to be
centered on the bottom of the jar. Glue around the circle you traced,
and around the candle stick rim. Now put them together!

Cute, huh?
Thank you Yankee Candle for making your jars so CUTE! :)
Have a wonderful day!








Really like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin! <3
DeleteGreat idea...I always feel like I should be reusing those Yankee Candle jars, instead of just recycling them! Now I know just what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
DeleteAny tips on getting all the old candle wax cleaned out??
ReplyDeleteYes I do! If you have a significant amount left, then break it up using a butter knife. If there is any really stubborn wax left, then use BOILING water to get it off. It's a very similar process to my "removing labels" post.
DeleteHope that helps!

Thanks!
DeleteHow did you do the circle on I really love this.idea
ReplyDeleteThanks! The circular one was just a little jar that we had laying around. I did the same thing (just glued a glass candle-stick to it.) I love it too!
