DIY Pretty Tea Light Holders

Okay, Abby is on vacation right now, and she has all the before and after pictures on her camera, so I am going to just start this post and she can finish it when she gets back (thanks Abby :)).  This was our first real Thursday project.  We hit some thrift stores in the morning and found some various jars and bottles for about a quarter each.  We then brought them home, and wrapped them in yarn and spray-painted white.  Then you take off the yarn, and this is what you have:

Abby's turned out better than mine I think, so watch for her pictures to come.  Oh, and this idea came from Pinterest and now I need to figure out how to add the link.  If I don't get that up today maybe Abby can do that too??? :)


Thanks Janell for getting this going!!  It was one of those posts I kept meaning to do but needed to get the pictures downloaded.  Well, here are the step by step pictures of what we did and what mine look like!

Step 1:  We put tape around the inside so the spray paint would not get in there and to anchor the yarn

Step 2  Wrap the sting around tightly so it stays in place

Step 3 Spray paint and wait to dray (buy the fast drying stuff because if you are like us we can't wait to see what it looks like!!)

Finished product...I used all the same style glasses


Hope you enjoy and try this out sometime...it is SO CHEAP to do and adds a nice touch to a table or mantle!

Here is the PIN for the idea!!
