Today Christine Chitnis from Lavender and Limes has created this beautiful project for our 18 Days Series. These are so soft and romantic and would make perfect gifts. Better still, they can be displayed in your home year-round! Here's more from Christine about her project:
Here in New England, we have been experiencing the first signs of winter. Frost creeps over the garden, night sets in around 4:30pm and our heavy coats have come out of storage. These crisp, gorgeous days have inspired me to cozy up our home in preparation for the colder months ahead. When I go about setting a winter dinner table, I always feel that a soft glow is needed. Using some old jelly jars, a bit of hot glue and some vintage doilies, I crafted these pretty votives.
Materials:
- Vintage Doilies
- Hot Glu
- Jelly jar
- Tea light candles
Directions:
Wash and dry your jelly jars and find the doily that best fits each jar. Try to use smaller doilies so that you don't have to cut them (this leads to unsightly fraying). Place dabs of hot glue on the outer edges of your doily and wrap it securely around your jar, holding it tightly in place until the glue cools. Wait for the glue to dry completely, make sure that the doily is secure (add more glue if needed) and place a tea light into the jar. Strike a match and enjoy the ambiance!
