Tea light holders - Arts, Crafts and DIY

A beautiful and crafty way to make tea light holders. Using what you already have at home.

Material

Cleaned jars (different sizes make a great effect)
Coiled ribbon, sheer ribbon, whatever ribbon you like.
Double sided take (use good quality as the cheaper brands don't hold well)
Tea lights.

Method

Wrap the double sided take around the jar covering the area you wish to decorate with your ribbon.
Now wind the ribbon all the way around your jar starting from the bottom as this helps to keep things in place while you start.
Pop in a tea light and there you have it a lovely easy was to add colour and something different to your space.

Notes

These are a great way to decorate a table or just to create atmosphere in your home. This a great activity for fine motor development for you kindy aged children and they also LOVE the effect it create.

I’ll be using these a bit in time to come. I had candles out for the driveway Anzac dawn service. And I’ve been putting them out on Saturday nights to acknowledge all the frontline workers

I have a friend who collected Moccona coffee jars as tea candle holders and used them at her wedding. Such a lovely warming effect

  I love recycling and repurposing items in the household – this is how we look after our environment.
