Luminaries add a certain panache to any party. For a shower or birthday party, simply decorate glass jars with paper doilies for a delicate look that shines.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Glass jars
  • Tea lights
  • Paper doilies
  • Spray adhesive
  • Grease pencil
  1. Step 1

    Clean the glass jars.

  2. Step 2

    With a grease pencil, mark lightly where you want the doilies located on the outside of the jars.

  3. Step 3

    Place jars in a well-ventilated area on top of old newspaper and spray with adhesive.

  4. Step 4

    Place the doilies on top of the adhesive, smoothing out any lumps with your hands.

  5. Step 5

    Let dry and place tea lights inside.

Tips & Warnings
  • This also works well on hurricane candle covers instead of glass jars.
  • Save and use as vases.
  • Cover with acrylic coating so they can be saved for later use.
