Cheap Tea Light Holders

Fancy some cheap tea light holders for lighting up your garden during the summer months?

I have to confess to a big birthday coming up, with a small get together planned. Having invited friends and family for a BBQ, I realised we have a zero budget for the event.. hence decorating the garden in a thrifty fashion!

Garden tea light holders

Create simple jam jar tea light holders.

You will need a tin of car spray paint, string, jam jars,  newspaper, and tea lights.
Thrifty Tea LIght Holders

Wrap string around your jam jars. Some of these jam jars have been wrapped with string, some with garden twine to create subtle differences.

Lightly spray two coats of paint. Be careful not to overspray to avoid drips.

Leave to dry for 24 hours, and unwrap the string.

Garden tea lights

Add your candles, light and enjoy your cheap tea light holders:) Anyone for a BBQ?

They look fantastic and so simple to make. I could do with them in my new garden. Thank you for linking up to #ThriftyThursday

These are so cute, such a clever idea. We usually have jars waiting to be recycled so this craft is ideal for us. pinning to my garden board :-)#tuesdaytutorials
