Decorating Your Candle Jars

Decorating candle jars is an emerging trend that has been adopted from a leading American consumer group. The group came about the idea when looking at ways to create personalised gifts through craft products. Now groups in the UK are looking at the concept and putting their own twist on it. A group in Manchester has been particularly quick to adopt the idea and have been trying to push the crafts community towards it.

The decorating of a candle jar is fairly straightforward however coming up with ideas can be difficult. With a little help from our new friend we have decided to give you a few ideas to get you on your way.

Ideas:
Think about the scent of the candle you are using and maybe try and decorate your candle around that. So if you a sea breeze candle jar for example you could put star fishes and sea shells around the outside.

Consider using craft materials. Glass candle jars have lids that are perfect for wrapping materials around.
Transparent gems look great on the outside of candle jars as when you lite them the glow of the candle shines through them.

The possibilities are simply endless.
