Snowman Candle Holder
Make a cute snowman candle holder out of a baby food jar, submitted by Loni Schultz.

Materials:
  • Baby food jar
  • White tissue paper (or you can use white acrylic paint)
  • Small orange pom pom (nose)
  • Small black pom pom (2 for eyes, 4 for mouth)
  • Thin red ribbon for scarf
  • Black acrylic paint for lid (hat)
  • Glue

Instructions:
Glue pieces of white tissue paper onto the baby food jar. Paint a layer of glue over the whole jar and sprinkle with clear glitter or you can buy the glitter paint in the craft dept. and paint that over the dry jar.

Glue the eyes, nose and mouth onto the jar. Glue a strip of black felt around the open part of the jar (this will be his hat). Then glue a strip of red felt around the jar lid and then glue the jar lid to the jars bottom (that will be his scarf).

This could also be a candy holder.
