Easy Peasy DIY Jar Candles


Lifestyle post for you today - THE easiest yet very effective chutney jar to candle conversion DIY you'll ever see...

You will need:
  • A pair of scissors (please be careful)
  • A reel of decorative string/ribbon/rope
  • A lighter (again be careful)
  • Empty jars
  • Tealight candles
Using whatever shape or size jars you wish, wash them out and remove all labels. Now take your rope (or whatever you choose to use) and loosely measure around the top of the jar enough to wrap around and tie a bow. Cut the rope to the correct length and (carefully!) use the lighter to burn the edges of the rope to avoid fraying. Then simply tie a pretty bow around the top of the jar, drop in a lit tea light and voila!

very simple but very effective - 
a cheap & easy Christmas present too!


Who's feeling the Christmas spirit yet? I know I am!
