ABOVE DIY IDEA AND LAYOUT CREATED BY LIESL EHARDT
USING IMAGES FROM THE DOLLAR TREE cited below
CLEAR GLASS 16 OZ. CANNING JAR WITH LID | dollar tree = $1
sEPARATE THE LID FROM THE JAR - YOU ONLY NEED THE gold ring part
of the jar FOR THIS PROJECT, which will act as the stand.
4" CLEAR PLASTIC CHRISTMAS BALL ORNAMENT | DOLLAR TREE = $1
REMOVE the silver ornament topper FROM the ornament.
BOX OF 300 GREENLIGHT DIAMOND BRAND MATCHES | dollar tree = $1
FILL THE ORNAMENT WITH MATCHES.
USE AS FEW OR AS MANY AS YOU LIKE TO GET YOUR DESIRED LOOK.
PLACE THE silver ORNAMENT TOPPER BACK ON the ornament.
there is a striking strip on each side of the matche's box sleeve.
slide the box sleeve off of the matches and cut out the striking stips.
you will get 2 large striking strips from each box sleeve.
cut one of the large striking strips in half.
PLACE GLUE ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE GOLD JAR TOP.*
* I USED ELMER'S FOR PICTURE PURPOSES BECAUSE MY HOT GLUE GUN IS PACKED AWAY FOR MY MOVE, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING A HOT GLUE GUN FOR THIS PART
TO FILL THE RIDGES in completely AND HAVE IT SECURE ALMOST INSTANTLY.
LINE THE INSIDE OF THE JAR LID WITH THE 2 STRIKING STRIPS.
This becomes the way you can light the matches and is all part of the holiday decor, together in one place.
works beautifully and is hidden when you don't need it.
USING ONE OF MY STYLE TIPS ABOVE,
I SPRAY PAINTED THE SILVER ORNAMENT TOPPER GOLD.
THIS TIES THE LOOK TOGETHER, BUT YOU CAN LEAVE IT
SILVER FOR A MIXED METALS LOOK.
