Christmas Jelly Jar Votive (Great Gift Idea!)

Here we are… that season again! Time to share our gifts this holiday with the people we love- and a handcrafted gift is really a gift from the heart! Today I’ll show you how to craft a recycled jelly jar into a sweet hostess gift or appreciation gift with just a few supplies. This one is Christmas-themed, but you could also use different colors for Winter or Hanukkah.

Here’s your supply list: (some links are affiliate links and I keep this site going with those funds.)

Jelly jars- new, recycled, or thrifted!
Mod Podge Sheer Tints in your choice of Green, Red, or Blue
Burlap (recycled or ribbon)
Jewelry Glue (or other glue for metal/glass surfaces)
aluminum ribbon or fabric ribbon
Jute twine
Holiday Stickers like these: Jolee’s Trees, Snowflakes, Dreidls

Plus you may want to have a paintbrush, freezer paper, and a few clothespins on hand.

I made this video for you to show you step-by-step. It’s only 6 minutes long. You’ll probably need less than a 1/2 hour of crafting time, excluding the time you’ll need for the Mod Podge and glue to dry.
