    Winter, spring, summer and fall. I’m working my way through the seasons with another glass yogurt jar craft that I think you’re going to love.

    Supplies

    glass yogurt jars (Weck tulip jars would also work)

    raffia

    acorns, miniature pumpkins, seed pods, cinnanom sticks and other natural decor

    hot glue gun

    tealight candles

    Goo Gone

    Instructions

    You can buy new glass yogurt jars for this project, but I love recycling the Yoplait Oui jars for this glass yogurt jar craft.

    The hardest part of this project is removing the labels. I recommend using Goo Gone to dissolve the adhesive on the labels. The jars will be oily, so I recommend running them through the dishwasher or hand washing. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any remaining residue.

    Tie several pieces of raffia around the neck of the jar. I recommend adding a dab of glue under the knot so the raffia doesn’t slip down the jar. You may also want to add a bit of glue under the raffia on the backside of the jar, as well.

    Next, decorate the jars using natural materials, like sweet gum balls, miniature pine cones, cinnamon sticks, anise seed, dried fruit slices, acorns, seed pods and even sticks from your yard.

    For my jars, I used a mix of natural materials, potpourri and store bought items from my fall decor stash. I’m all for using what you have on hand.

    Just keep layering on items until you like the look. Trim the raffia, as necessary.

    Once the glue had dried, add tealight candles to the jars. Battery-powered tealights are great because you don’t have to worry about fire risk and you can leave them on all the time.

    I’m using these fall tealight candle holders as a simple centerpiece on our kitchen table. They look so pretty set on top of old books and displayed alongside crabapples, fall squash and antique blue mason jars.

      So cute! Aren’t the French yogurt jars the best for repurposing? I used to bring them back from Canada and France. So happy we now have them here in the U.S. The yogurt is pretty darn good, too. : )
