Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
We are welcoming 4 new Design Team members this week, Kath, Zoey, Cathie, and Macarena! Please give them a nice warm welcome and pop by their blogs to say 'Hi'
This week the challenge is,
RECYCLE/UPCYCLE STYLE
With the throw away society that we live in we thought we should take a look through our 'rubbish' and use something that we would normally put in the bin!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I like to make marmalade so throughout the year I collect jars of all shapes and sizes. I always think it's a shame to throw them in the recycle bin and prefer to re-use them whenever possible. So with that in mind I made one into a romantic candle holder.
I started by tearing a strip of tissue wrap and inked the edges with gathered twigs distress ink before adhering to the jar with multi medium matte glue.
I then inked a die cut heart parade with tarnished brass distress paint and adhered this over the top.
I wrapped some twine around the rim and added a brass tinted rose and a few gold sequins for extra glamour. Perfect for a romantic dinner setting don't you think!
and here it is all lit up :-)
So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Woah this is cool! I save berry packaging and use them to give bake goods!
Lorraine, these are beautiful! My son is getting married in May and I'm going to use this idea for pretty centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner. Thanks for the inspiration! Cathie <3
How inspiring! I have some jars lying around and perhaps I can make good use of them better....love your take on the Monday challenge, Lols!
What a gorgeous way to recycle! Love that you filled the base with sequins too!
Hugs,
Snoopy :D

Really pretty candle holder and a great way to recycle. The sequins must make a lovely twinkle when the candle is lite. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us at Crafty Boots Challenges.

Such a fun idea to alter this and make it into a candle holder, Lols. Really fabulous. Hugs, Sandra
Beautiful! I love the sequins. Such a special touch!
Great project!. I love your candle holder. Thanks for sharing with us at Craft Your Passion this week. Good luck!!! Patricia
Fabulous!
Love these projects so much! The details in your candle are perfect! I love the colors and your photographs are beautiful!! :) ! Thank you for sharing your wonderful project with us at Come And Get It challenge. Neva
This is so pretty Lols and what a great idea! The hearts look wonderful and I love the sequins.
This is genius, Lols! I would never in a million years think to add sequins to a candle holder, but now I want to go find every boring candle holder in the house and bling it up! This really is lovely and it was a bonus to be able to see it in the daylight and at night.
Oh wow, what an awesome idea...Great design and function. So glad you joined us in our neighborhood Challenge at 613 Avenue Create. Have a blessed day!
