Yup.....more mod-podge!! It's like a mod-podge party in my house!! ☺
These are easy to make candle holders. I'm using the 3 hooping jars that I found at HobbyLobby during my "FridayFinds". So make some and join the mod-podge party! I'd like to see what you make.
|
Here's what I used:
toile print tissue paper/any design or pattern you wish to use
mod-podge/foambrush
glass jars/containers
tea-light candles
scissors |
|
I used this cute printed tissue paper. For these small jars I cut about 8 inch x 5 inch pieces. I cut out the scenes where it had the people. This printed tissue had (3) different couples doing something. |
|
After cutting the pieces of tissue, take the jar and apply some mod-podge. Apply on a small area. |
|
I then applied the tissue to the area that had the glue. Make sure the pic is centered and straight. I used the pictures of the couples as my guide. |
|
Apply more mod-podge and work the tissue on very carefully. If not it will tear...Yes, I had 2 small tears!! lol! |
|
Once my sides were overlapped. Use the foam brush to push down the bottom, it will naturally fold. Or apply the mod-podge, then dip your finger in water and smooth out the folds. |
|
Still holding the jar, apply mod-podge all around. Do not apply any to the part that is past the top. |
|
Take the scissors and trim off the excess. I cut to where there was just enough to fold over the edge...you can eyeball it here. If you want to cut to the very edge that's fine. |
|
Using the foam brush I just pushed it over the edge, since the brush still has glue on it, it seals it but you can add more if you'd like. |
|
So from boring and clear to:

|
Here they are on the mantle!! |
See.....easy!! Hope you enjoyed this little project.
How pretty!!!
