glitter votive holders {a tutorial}

Two weeks ago, I shared my easy painted jars with you all. Today, I want to share the technique I used to make the glitter votive holders! I love how the glitter adds a touch of sparkle and glam to otherwise plain votive holders. You can use any color glitter to change the look, or to match your decor.

Here’s what you need:

mod podge
glitter
votive holders
foam brush

Step 1: Brush the inside of your votive holders with the mod podge (don’t worry-it dries crystal clear)!

Step 2: Add glitter to your votive holders, gently turning the votive holder so that the entire inside is coated. I did this over the sink to cut down on any potential mess.

Really-so, so easy. This will work on any clear container…the dollar store has a great selection to choose from. You can even use larger glass jars and use them as vases!

Where in your home could you use a little extra sparkle?

painted jars {a tutorial}

Hello, Lovelies! I’ve been collecting plain glass jars for a while now, and, needing a fun centerpiece for my dining room table, created these pretties…

These painted jars are perfect as centerpieces for your next party or event! And the best part is, they cost only pennies to make.

Materials:
glass jars (I collect these all year round for different crafts)
craft paint

That’s it! And the how-to couldn’t be easier…

Just take your glass jars, and squirt in about a tablespoon of craft paint. Add just a smidge of water to loosen the paint.

Next, put your lids back on your jars…and shake!

Let dry. You may need to touch up with a little more paint once your jars have dried.

Remove lids, add flowers, and voila!

Super simple, and I love how you can make these in any color scheme imaginable!

I chose blue, kelly green, and gold…what colors would you choose?
