Homemade Wedding Jar Candle Holders
Wedding jar candle holders make a perfect project for the DIY bride to make for her special day. They bring a special, homemade warmth and glimmer as dusk falls upon the wedding location. Mason jars add an even more rustic look to the scene, while jam jars that have a quilted pattern on them bring a bit of sparkle. More sparkle can be created by adding crystal beads to the wire used to hold the jars. The jars not only serve as decoration, but can even be given away as wedding favors.
