How to Use Glass Vases for Holiday Centerpieces

Michelle says the size for jars and candies can vary based on the number of items being used and the space inside the jar. She surrounds the jar with foraged greens, fruits, and pinecones to complete the look.

1. Place pillar candle in center of jar.
2. Pour faux fine snow around candle.
3.  Place various sizes and colors of small “bottle brush” trees in snow.

Floating Ornaments Jar with Floating Candle

1. Hydrate gel water beads in water at least 8 hours before assembling—use enough to come within about for inches from top of jar.
2. Place a layer of cleat water gel beads in bottom of jar.
3. Place three or four assorted “no hole pearls” on top of water gel beads.
4. Add another layer of water gel beads, then the no hole pearls.

6. Carefully pour in water, leaving enough room at top of jar for floating candle.
