My Fall Jar

Last week I shared this post over at Dirt and Pearls. Thanks again Emily!!

In case you missed it, here you go…

Do you ever see things and want to make them yourself? I do all the time. That’s what I did for this post. I have been seeing empty jars everywhere. Then they are turned into vases, or candle holders with mod-podge and paper.

Today I thought I would share with you a Fall decor piece, that is super easy and looks great!

I have a jar that I cleaned out, then worked on my idea of what I thought would look good. Here goes:

My Fall Candle Holder will consist of: Old Book Pages & Homemade Mod-Podge (Homemade Mod-Podge is soooooo easy to make: 1 part glue to 2 parts water)

I brushed the Mod-Podge on the jar where I wanted to place my Old Book Pages. (I did have to cut the pages to the size I needed)

After I had covered the jar with my pages-I went over the pages with more Mod-Podge to seal it securely

When everything was dry, I placed a tea light in my new Fall Candle holder and Viola! I love this old rustic look. Perfect for a Fall Mantel.

For more Fall ideas visit me here and here.

Please stop by for a visit at Meegan Makes anytime! I am also on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk and Stumble Upon. I would love to see you there as well.

Make it a terrific Thursday!!

Simple and gorgeous. Would also look great with old sheet music (carols for Christmas?)
