Materials
Glass vases (I will be using three vases in varying sizes/heights as listed below):
- Glass cylinder measurement: 4.33" x 4.33" x 4.33"
- Glass cylinder measurement: 4.3" x 4.3" x 5.9"
- Glass cylinder measurement: 3.9" x 3.9" x 7.9"
Dry items that you have in your cupboard (I will be using the ingredients below): NOTE: It is easiest to use dry ingredients. The same effect can be achieved with wet ingredients, but it will be messier.
- Corn kernels
- Lentils
- Beans and/or cranberries
Battery-operated candles. NOTE: Since you will be using dry ingredients, it’s important to use battery-operated candles instead of those using an actual wick with a flame. Let’s be safe this holiday season! If you only have real candles, then proceed with caution. I will be using 3” round candles in heights of 4”, 5” and 6”.
· OPTIONAL: Any ribbon or décor you would like to add to your candles.
Directions
- Wash the glass vases and dry them thoroughly.
- Add a small layer of ingredients (ie kernals, beans, lentils, etc.) to the bottom of the vase, about an inch high (or however high you would like your candle to sit).
- Set your candle in place, in the middle of the vase on top of the dry ingredients.
- Add the rest of your dry ingredients all the way around the vase, in between the candle and the edge of the vase.
- Voila! You can add additional decoration to this vase, or be done here! Enjoy your holiday-themed candle.
