FOLKART-CONVERSION OF ARTICLES TO NEW USES.

CANDLEHOLDER MADE FROM BABYFOOD JARS.

Submitter comment: TO MAKE THIS ITEM, YOU TAKE THREE BABY FOOD JARS AND GLUE THEM
TOGETHER, KEEP THE LIDS ON. WHEN GLUE IS SETTLED (ABOUT ONE NIGHT)
TAKE A COVER FROM ANOTHER JAR, ABOUT 2-3 INCHES WIDE AND PLACE ON
TOP OF THE JARS. THEN TAKE VARNISH AND WOOD PAINT AND APPLY
TO THE JARS AND LID. LET THAT SETTLE OVERNIGHT THEN DECORATE THE
INSIDE OF THE LID WITH TINY PLASTIC FLOWERS AND PLACE CANDLE IN THE
MIDDLE.
