Christmas Card Candle Holder

By , About.com Guide

Check out this unique way to recycle Christmas cards and baby food jars, shared by WEISCHEDEL on the Forum.

Materials Needed:

  • Used Christmas Cards (can also use stickers)
  • Baby Food Jar
  • Glue
  • Rubber Band
  • Salt
Instructions:
Cut out a pretty picture from an old card or use stickers; it should be small enough to fit on the side of a baby food jar. Cover the back of the picture with glue and glue it to the jar. Put a rubber band around the jar to hold picture in place till glue dries.

Remove rubber band. Using a paintbrush, cover the outside of the jar with glue. Sprinkle salt over all of it to make the jar glisten. Let dry.

Optional: Tie a piece of curling ribbon around the rim. Put candle inside.
