What You'll Need

All you need to create this gorgeous, vintage style Christmas centrepiece is 2 or 3 empty glass jars (or one big one) and whatever Christmas paraphernalia you can spare!

The only essential item for this instructable is the jar(s); you can use any leftover Christmas decorations or wrapping you have lying around to create the look you want...

We used:

Assorted baubles (small)
Offcuts of tinsel and ribbon
Rose shaped candle
A bag of star shaped candle wax and a wick
Battery powered LED star lights

Simply pop your decorations into the jars and marvel at your genius!
We used 3 jars, with 3 different effects:

Jar 1
Simply filled with some mini baubles we had spare - red, gold, blue and white

Jar 2
Stuffed with a loose end of gold tinsel and topped with a rose shaped candle

Jar 3
We had a couple of goes with this one...
Option 1
Candle - we filled the jar with a bag of loose star shaped candle wax and wick

Option 2
Lantern - we used the same loose wax but this time we popped in a small set of star shaped battery powered LED lights and finished with another rose shaped candle, voila - Christmas Lantern
