If you are uncomfortable cutting your own, you will find quite a few shapes online. </li><li>Next, glue the two sheets together with<b> rubber cement</b>. It’s a great adhesive to use with paper since it doesn’t wrinkle and you can simply roll it with your finger to remove the excess. </li><li>Wrap the sheets around the jar and secure with matte tape. </li><li>Wrap jute twine around the mouth of the jar several times and tie. You can add evergreens or berries if you wish. </li><li>Insert your tealight and light with a long match…or use a battery-operated tealight if you prefer.</li></ol><b>For the candles without the cutouts:</b><br /><ol><li>Cut one layer of the paper, wrap it around the jar and secure with matte tape. <b>Note: </b>You only want one layer of the sheet music for this one so that the candlelight will glow through the paper. </li><li>Wrap jute twine around the mouth of the jar several times and tie.
