One of the most underrated holidays is Thanksgiving. Although its origins come from not such a wonderful place. The current holiday is all about things that are important to me – family time, being thankful for what we have, and of course food.
That means an inviting table set up for your friends and family. With this simple Thanksgiving craft, I can help you do just that!
These simple to make Oui Yogurt Jar Candle Holder are the perfect Thanksgiving craft. They only take a few minutes to make, but you can enjoy them year after year.
The best part – the total project costs are below $5.00!! That includes a delicious yogurt you get to eat??.
Thanksgiving Craft – Oui Yogurt Jar Candle Holders
Supplies
- Oui Yogurt Jar – at least 2 (but you may need more, depending on table size)
- Fall Ribbon
- Pen
- Scissors
- Glue Gun
- Rubbing Alcohol (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Take a clean and empty Oui Yogurt Jar (or any similar small open glass jar you have on hand)
Step 2: Remove the labels from the jar. I found running hot water over the label made it easy to remove. Then I follow up with a quick wipe of rubbing alcohol if there is any residue left.
Step 3: Take a piece of festive ribbon and wrap it around the top of the jar, just under the lip. Make a tic mark where the ribbon touches the other end.
Step 4: Cut the ribbon at the tic mark.
Step 5: Take the cut ribbon and use it as a template to cut as many ribbons as you need. I put 2 on my table due to side restrictions, you may need more.
Step 6: Take your pre-heated glue gun and put a dab of glue on the glass jar. Affix the ribbon quickly to the glass jar where you placed the glue.
Step 7: Wrap the ribbon around and place another dab of glue on the ribbon and affix. Let set and dry.
Step 8: Add the candle and light.
This Thanksgiving craft is such a simple way to get ready for Thanksgiving. It is quick and easy, as well as able to be completed with about 10 minutes of work time.
If you have an older, responsible child, they can even help you do this craft. It adds a bit of decor without taking a ton of time.
