Candy Jar Candles

Instructions:

Canning jars display a playful glow when holding a white taper candle nestled in holiday candy.

For a delightful presentation, place a clear cellophane bag in the jar. Fill the bag halfway with wrapped or unwrapped candles and secure with a twist tie.

Use raffia to tie a candle to the outside of the jar.
