Autumn Leaf Mason Jar Candle Holder

Mod podge leaf mason jar candle holders have been such a hit on Pinterest, we decided to make our own for our flameless community.

All you need is:

- Synthetic leaves
- Mod podge OR 1:1 tacky glue & water
- Bowl
- Mason jar
- Mirage or Candle Impressions LED votive candle

Find Candle Impressions votives here.

The rest is easy: just soak the leaves in your mod podge or glue mixture and place them on the inside of your mason jar. If they aren't sticking, add more glue to your mixture. Let the jar dry, add your LED candle and enjoy the warm autumn light that's cast through the leaves

              

Mirage Cinnamon Stick Wrap

Materials:

• Cinnamon sticks
• Twine
• Scotch tape
• Mirage LED votives (find a retailer near you here)

Instructions:

• Lay a 14" piece of twine down on a flat surface
• Lay the cinnamon sticks down on top of the twine 
• Fasten the sticks together with a strip of Scotch tape
• Roll the votive and fasten the twine with a bow 

Turn on the 5-hour timer and experience the same festive, fall light every night! Best of all, your home will smell amazing. 

Spider Web Candle Sleeve

Make a spider web wire sleeve for some or all of your flameless candles this fall. It's a simple look, but goes a long way and really stands out against the cream wax of Candle Impressions

Making one is easy (see to the left), but we'll be honest: it's a bit frustrating. The key is finding black wire that's thick enough to stand on its own, yet thin enough to easily bend. In hindsight we should have used thinner wire, but preferred the look of the thicker diameter. 

To begin, just make 2 circles: one to rest as a halo above the candle and one below. Be sure to make the circles wide enough so your candle isn't scratched when removed from the sleeve. Then connect the two on opposite sides with a wire at least 2" longer than your candle height; remember you'll need extra length for fastening the wire to the circles. Continue cutting and connecting wire into a spider web pattern.




All you need is:

-  Wire cutters (you probably have some in your toolbox)
-  Black wire (look in the jewelry section at craft stores)
-  A Candle Impressions Flameless Pillar in Cream or White (click here to find a retailer)

Please remember this craft is intended for adults only and is not suitable for young children due to safety hazards. 

"Monster" Jar Halloween Luminaries

Turn your mason jars into "monster" jars for a totally adorable Halloween display. They may not be scary, but they'll still draw a crowd with their corky look and pleasant glow.

Besides mason jars and Candle Impressions Flameless Candles (find a retailer here), you will also need:

• Acrylic paint (do not get glossy or any special finish - we just used the cheapest we could find at the craft store)
• Clear aerosol sealer in matte or satin finish 
• Sand paper (optional) 
• Medical wrap (for the mummy)
• Craft supplies to accessorize (like googly eyes, pipe cleaners, pompoms, etc.)

To paint the mason jars, follow these steps:

1. Clean your mason jars (unless they are new). Rubbing alcohol will help get rid of residues. 
2. Paint the jars with the acrylic paint (would recommend 1 - 2 coats, but be careful not to use too much or the paint won't be transparent). Leave to dry.
3. Spray the jars with the sealer (1 coat). Leave to try. 

Now you can accessorize! Please remember this craft is intended for adults only and is not suitable for young children due to choking hazards. 

Halloween Candle Orbs

Not only are these Halloween Candle Orbs easy to decorate with, but super easy to make yourself. All you need is:

• "Orb-like" candle holders (small fish bowls also work!)
• Black puff paint 
• Leaves, twigs, etc. for filling 
• Candle Impressions Flameless Candles (find your closest retailer here)

Place these spooky candle holders on your windowsill or front porch for a look your neighbors will love! 

Happy Halloween preparations! Please comment below with any questions. 

DIY String Candle Holders

These String Candle Holders are the perfect combination of rustic and chic. The sparkles add a little somethin' somethin' to the plain string and enhance the already gorgeous ambiance of the flameless candles enclosed.

Materials:

-  Candle Impressions Flameless Traditional Pillars

-  LED Tea Lights 

-  Plain string (thin is best)

-  White school glue 

-  Small water balloons

-  Large cylinder container (like a utensil canister) 

-  Cellophane 

-  Fine glitter

-  Paper plate

-  Scissors 

-  Safety pin

- Clothes hanger 

String Globe Steps:

1. Blow up one water balloon so it's as symmetrical and round as possible.

2. Tie the string to the knot of the balloon and wrap the string around the balloon in all directions.

3. When you're happy with the string wrapping, cut the string and secure the end so it will not unravel the balloon. 

4. In a large mixing bowl, empty your white glue and add a bit of water if the consistency is too thick or lumpy. 

5. Roll the balloon with string in the glue until the string is soaked through.

6. Dump the sparkles on a paper plate and roll the wet balloon around until sufficiently covered in glitter. 

7. Fasten a safety pin to the mouth of the balloon then tie it to a piece of string and hang from a clothes hanger to dry.

A  day later (or when the glue is fully dry and stiff), pop and remove the balloons and gently make an opening to place a Candle Impressions flameless tea light inside!

Candle Holder Steps:

1. Wrap your large cylinder container in cellophane.
2. Tie the string to the mouth of the container and begin wrapping around the whole container (including bottom); secure the end of the string when satisfied.
3. Roll the container in the glue mix or brush on the glue until the string is fully soaked.
4. Sprinkle on glitter.

When the string is fully dry it's time to slide the String Candle Holder off of the canister. This can be tough, but that's why the cellophane is there. Try twisting, rather than pulling, to get your beautiful creation off... but be careful not to damage it's structure! 

There you have it! A gorgeous new Candle Holder to place your flameless pillar in.
