DIY Mason Jar Candles

The idea for this easy project is from TheFrugalGirls.com, and can be found on Pinterest as well. I, unfortunately, did not come up with it (though I did make a few tweaks to the original) 






The photo above is the original. 

What you Need (For the Original): 


Mason jars (Can be found at dollar stores if you don't want to spend a fortune, comes in a pack of 3 but they are smaller than the ones shown here)

Epson salt 

Ribbon (any color)

Tealights 

Sticker letters (the kind you might use for a scrapbook)


How To Make: 

Tie ribbon around top of jar 

Stick on stickers to say phrase you like (For example, Let it Snow, O Holy Night, 'tis The Season etc.) 

Fill jar about half way full with epson salt

Place candle on top

Light, and enjoy! 




And here's my version of it. Slightly different, but same idea. 


Here's What You Need (For my Version): 


Mason jars (the ones I got are slightly smaller and rounder, but work fine)

Artifical snow (can be found at a dollar store also, especially during Christmas season; for smaller jars, you only need one bag. A second bag might be needed if you have bigger jars) 

Flameless candles (again, can be bought a dollar store, comes in packs of three) 

Sharpie (for writing on jar)

Nail Polish Remover & Paper Towel/Kleenex (for erasing mistakes)

Ribbon (optional, as you can see I didn't use it)


How To Make: 


Fill jar about half-way with the artificial snow 

Insert flameless candle 

Write message on jar (As you can see, I wrote O Holy Night)

Turn on candle and enjoy!! 




This is a super easy project that only cost about 4 dollars total. $3 dollars for the jars, about $2.50 for the candles and artificial snow. So, cheap and easy and yet totally festive! :D
