Tis the season for lighting candles and keeping cozy! And what better way to create one of kind lanterns and candles holders than with tissues paper and recycled glassware. I can remember as a kid, decorating bottles with colorful tissue paper and I used this process as my inspiration.
1. Instead of colorful paper I kept it minimal with white tissue and permanent pens. 2. I filled the surface with doodles and drawings. 3. Then, using Mod Podge I covered recycled glass jars with the tissue paper.
The result is a pretty little collection of lanterns ready for the holiday season!

Can't wait to try these.
This is a fun project. But I used cocktail napkins, they are thin like tissue. I used a skeleton napking and finished with black raffea tied around the rim. Cute.
