We spend as much time as we can outside, until finally the weather becomes raw, cold, and snowy. The acorns are abundant right now and the kids and I always love to collect a few to turn into crafts. As we gathered the acorns, we were plopping them into a found Mason jar in the garage, then it dawned on me- How pretty would a mason jar candle, look filled with acorns?

I’m not sure if you have discovered this spray paint, but it remains see-through and just applies a sheen. It’s called Tint-IT by Design Master and it comes in oodles of colors. Just a quick single coat does the job.

Once the paint dried, we filled it the jar with acorns, a glass votive holder, and candle.

If you’d like to make one of these mason jar candles, head on over to my post for HGTV Gardens for the entire tutorial.
