How to: Fall leaf candle holder

This may look a bit familiar. While I sat brushing Mod Podge on dozens of leaves to use on my Fall wreath, I decided to light a little jar candle covered with fall leaves that I made last year to keep me company. I enjoyed the warm glow of the candlelight dancing through the leaves so much that I just had to make a bigger one! But this time I made it with the intention that it could be used the rest of the year for crafty storage! Or for storing dried peppers or dried mushrooms! I used a large, one quart jar with a two piece canning lid. This has worked so well, I am planning to make a full set of four - one for each season to use to store tea bags, Splenda packets etc. on my kitchen shelf - keeping them in rotation as candles as the seasons go by.

And since it is so easy to do, I am making some with my two little gingerbread house buddies for their Thanksgiving table! 4 Homemade DIY Christmas Jar Gifts. I found these recipes around the web and had a fun time making them with my daughter! These are great gifts that the kids can help out on and so easy to do!

How to make a Fairy Wand

Today I decided to get my craft on and started to conjure up what kind of fairy tutu type wand I could make to match one of Charlotte’s new play ballerina dress up dresses. My initial thought was to make more of a “crystal ball” fairy wand. I had visions of sparkles in water and some really unrealistic things for the time I had scheduled, so I spent some time walking around Micheal’s to find some inspiration.

This is what I came up…the project took about 30 minutes. What you will need to create this Fairy Wand (or one of your own style) is the following: Don’t be afraid to get girly here. Next I set up the “crystal ball”.

Tutus are super easy and super fun to make. You can buy nearly any type of tulle and create tutus for all your costumes! No need to buy a tutu when its easy to make a tutu! This is the one I made~ Make sure you scrunch your tulle together really well to have a really full tutu! To measure your waist, make sure you measure your model and then take off about 2-3 inches of elastic. On elastic size, that’s preference. To add to these instructions since it isn’t listed in a lot of places, 6 inch tulle works really well, not the big tulle you find on the bolts. Pre-measure your tulle out and have it all ready so you can basically go from start to finish.

Elastic is a lot more snug. Some Halloween Ideas for Tutus: Trisha.
