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.
REMOVE the silver ornament topper FROM the ornament.
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.
| ADDITIONAL STYLing TIPS |
➝ ADD A TOUCH OF RUST-OLEUM METALLIC GOLD SPRAY PAINT
TO THE SILVER ORNAMENT TOPPER FOR A chic accent.
➝ FILL THE CHRISTMAS BALL ORNAMENT WITH A THIN STRING OF
BATTERY OPERATED STARRY LIGHTS FOR A MAGICAL GLOW.
➝ OR FILL THE GLASS PART OF THE CANNING JAR, LEFTOVER FROM THIS PROJECT, WITH A THIN STRING OF BATTERY OPERATED STARRY LIGHTS.*
*(the jar IDEA was SUGGESTED BY DANIELLE ROBINSON FROM CLASS-Y COOKIES.)
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.
