Ok, you know by now these are some of my addictions! My latest creation combines the three of them in a fun jar candle project!
I found this beautiful angel image over at the Graphics Fairy. (thanks, Karen!) Isn't she pretty?
A big bow of wonderfully crinkly seam binding, and some glittered jingle bells, and I am all set for Christmas! Ok, not quite! But it does put me in the mood for the holidays!
I couldn't find vintage looking jingle bells. They all were either shiny gold or silver or bright colors, which just wouldn't do for this project. So, what's a girl to do?
Spray paint 'em! That's right, I
spray painted the jingle bells! I used hammered antique bronze by Rustoleum, then followed with some Martha Stewart glitter. I am sure all of the neighbors think I've completely lost it! They never know what they will find me painting next!!
So fun to make, and they look gorgeous when lit! I think they would make a perfect gift for a friend, neighbor or coworker.
But be careful, making these candles can become addicting!!
I'm linking this project up with the following fun parties. Be sure to check them out!

Your candle jar is gorgeous!
Absolutely wonderful, the beauty of the jar is stunning.
I love using graphic fairy images for candle projects. I did something similar at Halloween. This turned out simply fantastic. The bells, glitter and crinkly ribbon are perfect touches.
Ohhh! This is SO pretty and quite unique! Love the jingle bells!
I know what you mean about the neighbors...I get funny looks, oh well! Looks great Donna!
Okay Donna, everytime I visit you, I wonder why I haven't purchased the seam binding yet!! It's soooo wonderful. Love the candles, they will make a fab gift!
PS I'm totally "borrowing" your bell re-do-LOVE them!Btw-my neighbors probably think I'm crazy too-spray painting who-knows-what!!
Stunning- will look nice lit up. I'm still working on my phobia. So far, glitter is still not my friend. Ugh.
Hugs- Tete
Donna - these are lovely. You have me starting to like glitter and crinckly seam binding!! That is so funny...
Donna, this is beautiful. The bells turned out very nice. I love this image. I'm working on a series of vintage bottles with angel images from the GF, of course! Take care
Very pretty...I bet it looks amazing with it lit up at night :)
