Patriotic Mason Jar Candle Holders

Supplies Needed:

- Mason jars (any size)

- Red, white, and blue acrylic paint

- Paintbrushes

- Painter's tape

- Tea light candles

Steps:

1. Start by cleaning the mason jars thoroughly and ensuring they are completely dry.

2. Use painter's tape to create stripes on the mason jars. You can make them vertical or horizontal, depending on your preference.

3. Paint the exposed areas between the tape with red and blue acrylic paint, alternating colors for each stripe. Allow the paint to dry completely before removing the tape.

4. Once the paint is dry, carefully peel off the painter's tape to reveal crisp, clean lines.

5. Place tea light candles inside the mason jars and light them to create a patriotic glow. You can also add sand or small pebbles to the bottom of the jars for added stability.

Fallen Soldier Table Centerpiece

Supplies Needed:

- Wooden crate or box

- Small American flag

- Artificial flowers (red, white, and blue)

- Small photo frame

- Cardstock or paper

- Marker or pen

- Scissors

- Hot glue gun and glue sticks

- Your patriotic mason jar candle holder from above

Steps:

1. Begin by placing the small American flag in the center of the wooden crate or box.

2. Arrange the artificial flowers around the flag, creating a floral border around the perimeter of the crate.

3. Next, create a small sign or plaque to honor fallen soldiers. Cut a piece of cardstock or paper to fit inside the photo frame and write a message such as "In Memory of Our Heroes" or "Never Forgotten" using a marker or pen.

4. Place the sign inside the photo frame and position it next to the American flag within the crate. Add your patriotic mason jar candle holder with candle to the table.

5. Use hot glue to secure the flag, flowers, and photo frame in place, ensuring they are stable and secure.
