Candle in a Jar

Hi! This is Jen with Jen's Ink Spot here today!  I am so happy to share with you today a project that I made recently and decorated using the Twinery's twine!

First I started with a tall, old jar that I liked the shape of.  I took muslin and measured the size of the jar so it could easily wrap around the jar.  

I liked the look of the raw edge of the muslin on the jar, so I kept the frayed end and used my Lilac Twinery twine and a needle to stitch the muslin together to create a wrap of sorts that would slide on and off of the jar (I did use a little double sided tape to help the wrap stay put.)

To decorate the jar I took felt circles and buttons and stitched them with the twine.  I love the little detail that this gives and it is super quick and easy.

I also took beads with wide holes and threaded them on to a strand of twine and then wrapped it around my jar.  I knotted the twine before and after my bead groupings to keep the beads on the strand where I wanted them.

After I finished decorating the outside, I put a couple of handfuls of river rock into the jar and then placed a LED candle on top so that it would just peek out right above the top of the muslin.

Here is the candle all lit up!

Thank you for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed this project!
