Festive "Frosted" Birch Bark Candle Holder

It is too early to be thinking about the holidays?! Not if you are me! An easy craft to make for Christmas or even any time of year!
First you will need some birch bark, either off a (fallen!) tree outdoors, or in my case I peeled it off some firewood logs. Or you can buy it from Etsy - an expensive option!
Draw out your window on the bark paper (you can see more detail of how I got the bark to bend here: http://thedesertrosedubai.blogspot.ae/2014/10/frosted-birch-bark-candle-holders.html)
Cut it out very carefully - avoiding your fingers at all costs!
Stick it to your glass jar using superglue. This way it will dry very quickly and you don't have to clamp it down like craft glue!
Once you have finished wrapping all the bark pieces to the jar, you can use a mix of Epsom Salts and silver glitter (or just Epsom Salts!) on the inside and round the edge of the window for the "Frost".
