Ambient lighting made easy....

A while back, I saw these really neat candle holders in a home magazine.... and I know we've all said it, and I certainly say it all. the. time. "I can make that." But, do we ever really make what we see? Well, speaking for myself; No, I never really get around to making whatever it was.... Until now, that is! Me, being the queen of the quick craft; it was a project that fit right with my crafting criteria: fast and easy :)


Simply put, I took an empty salsa jar (for some VERY strange reason, unknown even to me, I have great difficulty letting go of empty jars.... weird or what? please say 'or what'). Aaaanyway, I grabbed my white cotton yarn and crocheted a light and airy 'sock' to slip the jar into; added a tea light candle; lit it up; and VOILA! Instant ambiance! I LOVE IT!!!! I'll definitely be doing a tutorial for these soon.... EDIT: Tutorial for this is available through my Etsy shop.


Now, to find more jars.... is it wrong to rifle through your neighbours recycle bins? .....What?

Have a SUPER-FANTASTICALLY-FUN Family Day ;)

  1. I'm going to have to try this! I hang onto jars as well...I have a whole cabinet full of them and they have been sitting there forever! I'm glad to know I'm not alone!
