This project is simple but a lifesaver for all the unattractive candles lying around at home. I am a hoarder of scented candles but over time they lose their pretty appeal, especially when they start drooling down . Lately, my obsession has shifted to jars, especially when I think about all the drooling and wax drippings which can be avoided. However, then I realized, the jar also becomes ugly with little wax sticking here and there, after you start using the candle . Look how untidy it looks now!

Well I have a great solution for hiding them beautifully! I wrapped the jar with burlap ribbon and voila! Burlap ribbon wrapped candles !!

A little detail in your project never hurts. So, here is how I made it. I used blue shaded hemp chord and added silver beads at small intervals. Cut out the burlap ribbon in size to match the height of the jar and just enough to cover around it.

I held the burlap ribbon around the jar and secured it by simply running the hemp twine around it few times and finished it with a little bow.

You should see the beauty when its lit up. Much prettier than the original jar version 😉 A few more closeup pics of the burlap ribbon wrapped candle holder. You can use the same idea for pillar candles as well, but be sure to keep the ribbon restricted to the center and not till the wick.
