To make these you need clean jars, Mod podge, pressed flowers, or even stickers and wide paint brushes. We used the cheap, foam type.
Then you move to the next section, and do it again. The Mod Podge dries pretty quickly so you can only do a small area at a time.
Here's one with all the flower on it. Once you've got all your flowers placed, you brush another layer of Mod Podge over the whole thing to seal it.
When they were dry, we tied twine around the top and then put battery operated candles in them. The Mod Podge dries clear but gives the glass a wavy appearance.

I love these little jars! So cute. Thanks for sharing another fun craft!
I am so incredibly happy to read this post. I do a craft with the girls in our church group one to two times a year. This is perfect. So you get those flowers from Amazon (who else - lol) and you use simple Mod Podge? I guess just on a small area of the jar where the flower will go - or the jar would get cloudy. THANK YOU!
The only thing prettier than those jars are the two girls that made them :)
So very cute! I love using Mod Podge! That stuff is so good for lots of things.
Chatty Crone - you put Mod Podge over the whole jar, just do a section at a time as you press down the flowers. It dries clear, but a little wavy, kind of like old glass.
What a lovely project!
Your pressed flower jars are beautiful, and using them as candle holders is a great idea.
The wavy effect from the Mod Podge adds a nice touch.
Oh, I love these!! They look perfectly charming with the candles inside. I’ve never used pressed flowers. I think this craft might be next on my list! Thanks for the inspiration.
VERY nice! I had no idea one could purchase pressed flowers on Amazon! What a beautiful craft!
What a lovely idea! And such a nice keepsake for each of the girls (and you!). That, plus the time spent with you is best of all, and vice versa for you spending time with your dear granddaughters. What a blessing! Thank you for sharing this with us!
What a great idea with a pretty outcome. I especially like the last photo.
I've always wanted to try this - one of these day. Such sweet girls and such a lovely project. They turned out so pretty! I love flowers and next best is the beauty of dried ones like this 💗
What a fun and easy craft. They look so pretty lit. I actually purchased vases similar to these with just leaves for the gift shop last year. They were a hit. Janice
The girls look to be really enjoying their craft. And the finished product is really pretty.
More fun times at your house!! :)
They jars are lovely.
What a great craft with granddaughters. The candleholders are just beautiful and I love the look of the flowers when they are finished. Very pretty.
Hi Mari, you always come up with the coolest crafts for your grands. I might have to copy that idea! Have a great week!
Wouah! Such a good idea and beautiful result!
The jars look so pretty.
That is unbelievably charming! I might even be able to do that! SO beautiful. I love the way your girlies enter in to all of the activities you plan for them, and do it with their whole heart. There is no substitute for that. They need to sell these jars beside the road and call them Driveway Candle Jars. You're Welcome xoxo
