⎨Yogurt jar candles⎬
This post is part of a series of posts that accompanies my journaling & inspirational workshop, "Quiet Christmas: A Self-Love Journey for the Month of December". If you're looking for a way to slow down at Christmastime, find peace, and savor this time of the year like never before, then this workshop is for you! :) The course doesn't take into consideration the religious aspect of Christmas, it's a Personal Growth, Bliss & Healing workshop.What if the cure for Holiday stress was more self-love and honoring our needs and desires? Quiet Christmas is an inspiring and powerful workshop in e-book format with daily journaling prompts (can be done even without journaling, if you prefer), to guide you on a journey of self-love and radical self care during the month of December.What if we put ourselves and our deep needs and desires first?

I love candles and lanterns. So very much. I have lots of them purchased over the years or been given as gift, and naturally, I like creating my own, too! :)
Eating yogurt every day, I often have on hand several cute little glass jars. They have many creative uses... Turning them into tea light holders just takes a few minutes.
If you don't find yogurt in glass jars where you live, you can also use baby food jars for this craft, or any small glass jar.
The longer part of this craft is to create the clay stars- follow my free tutorial for clay tags, here.
Once you have the clay star tags, you just have to wrap the little jar with twine, tie a knot, add a star, secure with another knot or bow and put a tea light inside.
Super easy and quick!
You may consider giving these sweet yogurt jar candles as gifts this year, or decorate just about every corner of your home or garden on a budget! :)
I hope you'll love them as much as I do!!
