oui Yogurt Jars!! I made these nice little candles!!

I used Modge Podge and some food coloring and I painted them.  Then I put some lace ribbon around them and put little battery operated Votive candles in them.

I have another idea for Christmas ornaments to make with them. I think I will color them red and put the little candle in them and crochet a sling for them to hang on a tree!! I just have to figure out my crochet part!!

Everybody have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I am trying some recipes that are Low Carb or Keto but they are like bread. I guess I just like bread too much!! Especially for breakfast. These muffins were real good this morning!!

Ok!!! So I seem to be getting a collection of oui Yogurt jars. And I want to find some kind of craft to do with them!!

I found a few on Pinterest. It seems like the most ideas are votive candles. I want to make crafts that I can give away as gifts.

I think I really like this idea the best. Putting a cutout on the jar them painting it!! I may try this one out!!
God Bless you!!
