Hello. I've been playing today. The mayo jars are quite dinky, I like the rounded shape, so what to do with them? I know, make tee light holders. Wrap a bit of wire around the top and make a handle, and daub some nail varnish on them. I didn't want to spend a lot of time painting neat patters, so I just did some rough stripes, and added spots with a permanent marker pen. They look good hanging on the pink sticks.
I tried them out after dark.
Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.

ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely for your little darlings Ilona x
ReplyDeleteI've got a thing about candles and candle jars, and have recycled many a petty shaped jar. I use everything from shells to lace and beads, in fact there are loads of ideas as long as they are safe. You could also use battery tea lights. When it comes to real tea lights I always hang them in a safe place. I don't leave mine at ground level because of inquisitive cats and wildlife. Yours look really effective Ilona, very pretty. Jean.
ReplyDeleteAdding a bit more to my previous comment, I too hang lanterns on my pets graves. You can get metal lantern hooks for under a pound in some shops. However, if you want a frugal version, use a cane with a decent length of hollow top, and bend your own hook from an old wire coat hanger and push it well down into the top of your cane. Jean.
ReplyDeleteThe tea lights look pretty. I picked up seven small glass jars from the recycling center last week. There are no lids, so this would be a great way to use them. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I saw Rocky's and Bugsy's grave and my eyes are tearing up. I miss them. Those tea lights do look beautiful on their graves. Think I will give it a try. Patty from Illinois.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. What loyal, loving companions our pets are.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteWould not have thought to use nail polish!
Those are cute. I love lights at night. I have some battery tea light candles that are only for emergencies or cute illumination.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely, I have been saving jars for doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea Ilona, something I might try would look really nice outside my back window. Enjoy the day.

What a brilliant idea. SueM
ReplyDeleteI have the same jars in the cupboard - they were too pretty to throw in the recycling. I think your tea light holder idea is brilliant, they look great with the nail varnish paint.
ReplyDeleteHi. Paint them outside, the nail varnish has strong fumes.
DeleteThose look so pretty. Definitely something I will try.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! Mal B
