Thrift find: jars turned to votives

Let's go Thrift shopping. And find some canning jars.



"They were 99 cents" - said in my best Macklemore voice. How's that for a come up?



i removed the lids and took them apart, removing the flat part,but keeping the screw on rims. I spray painted them black.



Then I added some wire around the tops of the jars.



Twisted the ends together like this.






And like this to create a little handle. Then I screwed on the black rims. Now you can light a real tea light inside the jars, or like I did, you can just add an LED candles.



I put mine on my columns in the back yard for a little extra ambiance in the evening.

My gator shoes, those are green and I got the Velcros and now I even have some thrifted canning jar votives.

That's way better than 50 dollars for a t-shirt. amIright?
