I am just a little late with this post, LOL.  Sorry about that.  My mother, for some reason, had a whole bunch of jelly jars cleaned and saved.  Maybe she was going to put homemade jelly in them.  I don't know, but she offered them to me.  Since they were all the same size, I took them.  Then using letter stencils I created a set of THANKS and NOEL painted candle jars.  The Noel is not pictured, but they are the same coloring and design.  You can add a tealight or a votive candle, but I like the tealights because they come right out to be replaced.  You could also put in those battery operated candles, but I don't find they last very long for what they cost.  They look lovely on a dining room table, or mantel like I did.  If I had more of these jars, I would do a set for my store.  Maybe I will start looking for the jars now, then I can have them in time for next year.  We don't eat a lot of jelly, lol.  These do take a while to make.  You need several layers of paint, and then sealing.  That is after you have cleaned and removed all labels.
