I decided to reuse some old jars my dad has had stored in the basement for years as candle holders. (Sorry for the bad lighting in this picture-my phone isn't the best). They are each decorated differently-but all affordable and cute!
I bought some white lace at Michaels and hot glued it around two of the jars. It was pretty easy, just make sure to dot a small amount of glue when you are securing the ends. For the other two jars, I wrapped them in a thin ribbon and spray painted with white paint, removing the ribbon after it dried. I found this to be a little difficult because the ribbon wouldn't stay in place without being secured by tape or something. After completing this, I saw someone else use rubber bands--genius! That would have been much easier and just as affordable.
I think using stuff you find around the house is a great way to save money and have some crafting fun :)
