DIY CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Jar Candle Holder 

This project is easy,fast and inexpensive as you can use material available at hand.

This DIY is perfect to recycle an old jar and make something elegant and beautiful. 

Supplies:

• a jar 
• a bow
• glitter
• scissors
• a candle 
• paint

To make the jar to look more interesting you can paint the jar with golden paint. 

You can cut out a heart out of tape or something that sticks to the jar and paint everything but that area.

Then peel off the heart and you'll get a lovely design.

A splendid  idea is adding a touch of glitter to the jar. The look of glowing light though the jar is cute.

If you like you can tie a bow.

And that's it!
