I love upcycling projects, and I have a pile\u00a0of baby food jars that I have been hoarding (I make dog treats with baby food and wheat germ–you can find the recipe HERE<\/a><\/span>). \u00a0So I decided to make some gift DIY lace votive holders using some of these jars and decoupaging (one of my most favorite crafty <\/a>techniques) lace on them (they make\u00a0great gifts for weddings, anniversaries, elegant table decor, or for anyone who likes Shabby Chic or vintage style).<\/p>\n

What you’ll need are 8 1\/2″ strips of\u00a0lace (mine is from TPGcrafts<\/a><\/span>), matte Mod Podge, 6 3\/4″ ribbon trim to cover the lip of the jar, and hot glue. Of course, you can go crazy and add lots more flowers, beads, bling, etc., but I chose to keep these in a simple yet elegant monochromatic white, letting\u00a0the candle light shining through the lace be the focal point. The actual construction is really simple, and you can easily make a set of four in an hour or two, but you need a day’s drying time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The following is a tutorial video that shows the step by step process. I hope you’ll give it a try and if you do, please let me know in the comments. I’d love to check out your projects too!<\/p>\n
