As usual, I am assisted by my co-host Baby Kitty…who was distracted by the birds at the back yard feeder! 
As you can see, there are three different candles so I will show you one by one how to make them. Easy peasy! 
The first one is the simplest…just a candle in a pint Mason jar (held in place with a wax button…found at World Market) surrounded by fresh cranberries. I finished it off with some twine around the mouth and a sprig of boxwood. Fun!
The second look uses a votive holder in the bottom of a quart Mason jar (Although if you look closely, you will see it says Barilla…spaghetti sauce jar…free! lol) surrounded by fresh cranberries. And if it looks familiar…
…it’s because it’s the same jar I used in my Pottery Barn inspired fall Mason jar candles! You can find a complete tutorial for adding the wire handles by clicking here.
But I think this one is my favorite! I was inspired by a similar candle that I found on Pinterest from a British home decor magazine and decided to try my hand at it. I have to tell you a secret…this is not as easy as it looks because boxwood sprigs float! I used a small nut from my tool drawer as a weight and attached it to the sprigs with white thread. Problem solved! Then just add a floating candle and some cranberries!
