I was thinking about what I could do this year that might be a little different. Then I remembered a craft I had done with my fourth grade students many years ago…frosted candle holders.

Supplies:

• A glass jar (I recycled an empty Oui yogurt jar for this project.)
• Removable vinyl.  When I made these with my students, I gave them a piece and let them cut out their own designs.  For mine, I made some simple hearts and a “Be Mine” message in Cricut Design Space and cut it out using my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine.
• Rustoleum Frosted Glass Spray Paint

Instructions:

1. Begin with a clean jar.  I love to use recycled Oui yogurt jars. These are the same jars I used for my DIY Faux Mercury Glass Votive Holders.
2. Using removable Cricut vinyl, cut out your own design. I have shared mine with you in Cricut Design Space.
3. Next, place your vinyl design onto your jar, smoothing it as you go.
4. In a well-ventilated area, lightly spray the exterior of the glass jar with Rustoleum Frosted Glass Spray Paint. (Be sure to follow the directions for using the spray paint.)
5. Let your jar sit for about 10-15 minutes.  The frosted glass effect will be seen in about 5-10 minutes.
6. Then, carefully peel off your vinyl to expose your design.
7. Lastly, add a tealight and enjoy the glow!

As I said, this was such a fun Valentine’s Day craft to do with my fourth graders. They had a ball creating their own designs with a piece of removable vinyl and some scissors.  How would you design yours?
