So I thought about explaining an easy way to make your room or any room look nice. It is a cheap and safe candle alternative. This is just a simple craft that can be done by anyone of all ages to make a place look nice. When I was helping to lead the craft, we were making them with 18 month - 4 year olds. But I really enjoyed making this craft for our living room for the Winter months.
So how do you turn this...
Into this?...
You will need:
A glass jar (any size), a glue stick, some translucent coloured materials (cut into squares), a battery operated candle
This is very very easy:
- Make sure the label from the jar has been taken off and there is no sticky stuff on the outside of the jar
- Put a thick layer of glue all around the jar right to the edges
- Stick the cut up translucent coloured materials all over the jar. Choose whichever colours you think go the best for wherever you want to situate it (I chose dark autumnal colours to suit the season)
- Leave it to dry for a few minutes before starting a second layer - but here you will need to place the glue on the material then stick it on the existing materials
- Do as many layers as you like until you are happy with it then place the battery operated candle in it and turn the lights off to set the mood and make the room seem lovely
Ta-dah! You should have something like this...
This is just such an easy thing to do with family and friends. I think they look really good for this time of year and they are something that can be left on without the worry that it will catch alight. People of all ages will like this craft and it is a good thing to occupy little ones as well as older ones in the holidays or weekends or just to pass the time on a cold winter's evening.
If you choose to make this, please send me a picture on twitter. Also comment down below any craft ideas you have for me to do, I have limited capability but I'm up for trying anything.
So until next time lovelies xx
