Ever have one of those serendipitous moments where something out of place becomes an inspiration?
I was in one of my local craft stores recently and found this little votive holder sitting on a shelf where it wasn’t supposed to be. It is one of the ones that just holds a little votive, and it has a flared top.
Right around the corner from it was an end cap full of mason jars.
And I wondered, would the little votive fit one of those jars?
Well, look at that. Lots of space below to fill and customize for any holiday or tablescape.
I filled it with gold glittery apples.
Then with red glittery icicle garland.
How about a little of each?
Then I went back to the gold apples and added a bow.
The best thing is there is no glue involved. The votive just lifts out and the bottom filler can be changed over and over!! How neat is that?!! Update – after this idea was published, I figured out that the metal ring would screw on over the candle holder. So now, I do that too.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll stay a bit and look around. My blog is about a lot of things, crafting and sewing, quilting and cooking, reading and decorating. If you like this Holiday Mason Jar, see the Beaded Holiday Jar for another idea.
What would you put in your Mason Jar Holiday Candle?
What a great idea!! Love all the change ups!

I have lots of those little votives and jars, thanks for the great idea.
I Think I will put some little pine cones that I have sprayed gold and silver and another one with some greens and battery lights and another one with peppermint candies.
This really is a fun #CreativeGoodness project, with lovely #GlitterGoodness. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
