Holiday Candles

 

Today I have a fun craft project for you and your family! Supplies include votive candle holders and/or recycled jars, salt, stencils, paint  and Helmar Decoupage! I used table salt but Rock Salt would also be very pretty!

 

Let's get to work!  The first thing is to paint a design on the glass using the stencil. Allow this to dry. 

Now comes the fun and messy part.Apply a coat of Decoupage to the glass and then coat with salt. You might have to play with the glass to see what is the best way to apply the salt. It can be poured over, rolled in it, etc. Allow to dry. Salt will come off as this is handled so be sure to protect any surfaces before using it. 

If desired add decorations to the top of the jar. I added ribbon and an artificial pine branch.

Once the candles are lit, you can see the design. Don't you love how they look? 

 

 

 

Crafting and recycling - a great family activity!
