Are you looking to decorate your house for the Holidays with a homemade craft project? The Mason Jar Christmas Candle is super easy to make with your children and also perfect for gift giving.

Happy Holidays!

Materials:

  • One floating candle or simple tealight
  • 3-4 fresh sprigs pine (or plastic)
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (or red plastic beads)
  • 2ft length of twine
  • Water
  • Half gallon mason jar
  • Hot glue
  • Essential oils, optional

Directions:

  • Twist your length of twine around the top of the mason jar, covering the entire lip. Secure by tying, or by adding a small dab of hot glue. 
  • Trim the ends off of your twine. 
  • Fill the mason jar halfway with water. 
  • Arrange the pine sprigs, as desired. 
  • Fill the mason jar to the 3/4 full mark and then add the cranberries or beads, and nestle the floating candle securely in the cranberries. 
  • You can add a few drops of your favourite essential oil (optional).
  • If you are planning to gift your jar, glue the twine instead to the lid and omit the water.

    What a lovely idea. I lived in Denmark for a couple of years and we used an awful lot of candles there, I loved it. This is really cute and a great idea, thanks for sharing 🙂
