tea light craft

the kids and i have done this craft several times.  we decided to make tea light holders for an early spring decoration- and it just so happens they are perfect for st. patrick's day too! 

all you need:
 -old jars (we used spaghetti and jelly jars)
-mod podge
-paint brush
-tissue paper- cut into 1-2 inch squares

cover the jar with a thin layer of glue

stick the tissue paper squares to the jar

once the entire jar is covered with tissue paper coat it with a thin layer of glue.  this will seal in the paper.  after drying the jar for 24 hours insert a tea light and enjoy the colorful glow!
