We recently made these super cute tealight holders as part of our build-up to Valentine's Day. To make them, you'll need at least one jam jar (washed out, with any labels removed and then dried), mod podge or pva glue mixed with water, light-coloured squares of tissue paper (we used pink) and tissue paper hearts (we used red).
To make them, start by turning the jam jar upside down and spread the mod podge or glue over the sides and bottom. Cover the jar in the tissue paper squares, overlapping them so that none of the glass shows through. Cover the tissue paper in a layer of glue, stick the hearts over the top and cover the entire jar in a further layer of glue.
To light up our holders we used LED tea lights, rather than real ones - they lasted longer, it was less tricky getting them into the jars and they were a safer option.
These look fab! You could do this craft for different seasons too with different shapes. I am pinning all of these for when Sophie is a little older. Thanks for linking up to #playathometuesdays x
ReplyDeleteYes you could. We've done autumn leaf ones too! X
ReplyDeleteI saw this idea with leaves and paper snowflakes but love how you've adapted it! I love mod podge used it for covering jar lids at xmas time! #playathometuesdays
