Silver votive/tealight holder


2 minute gift idea!
Someone had given me different sized mason jars but they had no covers so I thought making them into candle holders would be a good idea.
I had some metallic silver spray paint around. I tipped the jars upside down on some cardboard outside and I'm sure the neighbors thought I was crazy since it was about 9:00pm and 40 degrees. It was dark so the paint didn't come out even but I think it looks better, adds character. Once they dried I tied some raffia around the top and threw a tealight in.

Washable Glitter Mason Jar Votive/tealight Holder


I used Martha Stewart glitter paint, about 3 coats.
I dabbed it on with a foam brush.
Follow the instructions on the back of the paint to cure it in the oven so it will be dishwasher safe.
I made these for gifts so I added a few tealights and tied some raffia.
