Glitter Candle Jar DIY
This is a pretty easy DIY candle holder. The glitter on the jar has a lovely way of catching the light from the candle inside, which I love. Let's get started!
What You Need.
- Candle
- Empty jar
- Glue
- Glitter
- Newspaper (to protect workspace)
Coat the Inside of Your Jar With Glue, Only As High Up As You Want the Glitter to Go.
I did this with bare hands, but an alternative would be to put a napkin on your hand like a glove and smear it around like that. Use enough glue that it fully coats the inside of the jar that you want glittered, but not so much that it drips.
I avoided getting glue and glitter on the bottom of the jar because I wanted a smooth surface to let the candle rest on.
Dump the Glitter Into the Jar.
Roll the jar around in circles until all of the glued parts are coated with glitter, and then knock the jar into a bowl to get rid of excess glitter. You can dump the bowl back into your glitter container for later use.
Let Your Jar Dry Completely Before Putting a Candle in It.
Be sure that your jar is big enough that the candle doesn't touch the edges; I'm not sure what heat does to regular Elmer's glue, so in case it can liquefy it and make the glue run, I'm sticking with a tea light despite the size of my jar. And then, ta-da, you have a glittery, pretty candle holder!
