Mason Jar Candles
Okay, I've been obsessed with these candles when I saw Caitlin's from DIY with Caitlin's live. I had to make them myself!
How cute are these?!
First thing is to make your box for your mold. Choose what jar you'd like to make a mold of and measure out 1/2 and inch from each side.
Cut and tape all the sides together, so that you have a little box including a bottom piece. Glue your jar (with the cap on) upside down in the box.
Here is the fun part! Mix together your silicone pack. I got mine off of Amazon for less than $30.
Then, pour the mixture into your box and fill all around your jar.
Give that about 6 hours to set.
Once it's dry, cut a zigzag into the mold to release the jar. Next, you'll want to tape your mold back together.
Melt your wax on the stove and dye it with crayons. Then, pour your wax into your mold!
After letting your wax completely cool remove the tape and pull out your candle. This was the most satisfying moment of the project by far!
I am 100% totally IN LOVE with the way this came out. It looks amazing with my rustic-chic decor in my apartment. I've already received multiple request from my co-workers to make them one too! I think I've found my new hobby... 🤔

This is cute. I thought i was actual glass with wax inside. I’ ve got so many I am looking for ways to gift them out of my house😜. This is pretty though. I guess over a plate to puck up dripping wax

Have a question about this project?
Just curious as to why the mold ? Couldn’t you just pour the wax into the jar. We used to melt the wax in an old coffee can set in a pot of boiling water then pour right into our container.
how do you put the wick in the candle? thank you
