Glass jars from baby food can be used in everyday life to store various little things - buttons, buttons, needles, etc., and in the kitchen - for spices. Also, these small glass jars, which are simply a pity to throw away, open up room for imagination and creativity. So from glass jars from baby food, you can make original, elegant and functional candlesticks.
Jars of all sizes and shapes are suitable for the manufacture of candlesticks. Candlesticks from small pot-bellied jars look good. But other shapes (straight, elongated) will also work well. In addition to these very jars, you will also need various decorative elements. Beads, beads, buttons, braid, yarn, lace, sequins, scrapbooking paper, etc. will do.
The process of work is extremely simple: any decorative elements in a variety of combinations are attached to a clean and dry jar using glue or transparent nail varnish. It will be better if the jars do not completely lose their transparency. Then the decor elements get an unforgettable charm when they are illuminated with a candle flame.
Candlesticks made of glass jars covered with lace look good. Also a win-win option, including for decorating the New Year's table, are candlesticks with shiny patterns made with loose sparkles (for example, for manicure).
So that the candlesticks from the jars do not look rough, it is better to cover the carvings on the jars with decor. Multi-colored yarn or even regular twine works well for this. Just make sure that the flammable elements do not protrude beyond the edges of the jar, as this is a fire hazard.
Small candles in the form of metal "tablets" fit well in low jars of baby food. Long candles can be placed in elongated jars. Be sure to drop a few drops of molten wax on the bottom of the jar before placing the long candle in the candlestick. This will ensure that the candle is firmly in place in the candlestick.
