FALL LEAF MASON JAR CANDLES

FALL MASON JAR CANDLES

 I had some left over milk paint to use up and found yet another mason jar idea on Pinterest!  I can only imagine how mason jars went from a collection of clutter in your basement to a valued find practically overnight!  They have become so popular as of late for so many new purposes.  For this project I cut leaves out of my Silhouette (or use your Cricut if you are a Cricut user!) in vinyl. Adhere them how you want on your jars. Paint with 2 coats of milk paint. I used mustard, barn red, and tavern green. Peel off the vinyl after the paint dries and add popcorn, beans, rice or whatever fill you want and an LED candle. I have also seen this done by using real leaves and modge podge if you don't have a vinyl cutter. Be careful when you put your leaves on your jars to avoid the area of the jar that has raised writing as it will make your vinyl bubble and the paint seep.
