Since yesterday I posted about my obsession with glitter, I thought I might as well do yet another glitter post today!! I'm linking up with Brag Monday over at the Graphics Fairy. If you have never visited, be sure to do so! You will find tons of beautiful and inspiring graphics, Karen adds a new one each day!! I found this gorgeous vintage Valentine over there, and just knew that it would be perfect for my jar candle project!
I love birds, and think these are just the sweetest!
This project combined several of my favorite crafting elements: glitter (of course), Mod Podge, and pages from a vintage French book.
I added some of my favorite wonderfully crinkly seam binding, a neat vintage key that had just the right perfect amount of rust! I wanted to add a little heart, but I didn't have anything on hand. What's a girl to do but make her own? I made this pretty heart out of chipboard, and covered both sides with pages from a vintage French book. Of course I had to add some fine light pink glitter, and I used a gold paint pen around the edges to glam it up even more!
The back of the jar candle features pages from a vintage French book. Oooh, la, la!
The key to my heart! (sorry, I just couldn't resist!)
I will be putting the candle in my Etsy shop later tonight, but I love it so much that I want to make one for myself!!!
Here's one last look! What have you glittered lately?

I used to love the glittery owl tall candle holders we had as a kid...but I have to say these are much much nicer(that is an extreme understatement, much much???) anyhoo, I love them!
ReplyDeleteTHERE'S my girl! All glitterized and glammed up! What a beautiful candle holder and I, too, LOVE birds...especially sweet little bluebirds like this one...blackbirds? Not so much! Hugs- Diana

ReplyDeleteHi Donna!
ReplyDeleteI love your glittery, vintage theme candle and the glittery birds from your last post. Thank you for the inspiration! I will definitely check out your etsy shop.
One of my oldest and dearest friends has recently announced to me that I WILL be visiting her in Michigan this summer at her family's home. They live near Lake Superior and after seeing your beautiful picture of the sunset over the lake, I just might have to take her up on her offer!
Blessings and Hugs,
