A Fairy Light

Hello everyone, Leanne here with you today.

I have created a fairy light using a recycled glass jar,
tissue paper, fine glitter, embellishments, glue and a fairy.

So let's create:

Start with a clean jar,
making sure it is free of any sticky label residue and finger prints.

Then die cut or download a fairy image,
coat the image with Tacky Craft Glue and glue the image to the inside of the glass jar.

Next pour a puddle of Craft & Hobby PVA Glue onto a pallet.
Optional: I tinted my glue with a drop of distress ink as I wanted a vintage look to my finished project.

Using a foam brush apply the glue all over the outer surface of the jar.

Next carefully place a layer of tissue paper over the glue surface.
Sprinkle on some fine glitter to the tacky surface and set the jar aside, allowing it to completely dry overnight.

Chose some decorative cord and adhere to the neck of the jar
using 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

Next, carefully drill a hole in the centre of the lid, as shown.
The hole needs to be big enough to poke the plastic flame of the tea light candle through.
