DIY Moroccan Candle Jars

These Moroccan Candle Jars are super easy to make and are a lot of fun. This is a great and cost friendly craft that will add ambiance to any home. Use them to decorate for the holidays as well!

Materials you will need:
-Small glass vases
-Metallic fabric paint, or any metallic paint with a narrow spout for piping
-Acrylic paint colors of you choice
-Garbage bag
-Sponge brushes
-Paper cups with warm water

First, use the metallic paint to drop on any pattern you like. I use fabric paint because it is thicker and holds it's shape very well. Don't glob on too much, or use it will end up just dripping down the vase. I have included close ups if you want to copy my patterns, or make up your own!!

Next drop some paint in the cup and add in a splash of water. You want this to be a soupy looking mixture. Too much paint will not allow it to spread around the vase, and too little paint will not adhere well to the sides of the vase. Keep adding paint or water to get the right consistency.

Then drop some of the mixture into the bottom of the vase.

Swirl the vase around, allowing the paint to cover the sides, making sure to cover the whole surface area of the inside of the vase. Do this after the fabric paint is completely dry. In this picture, I swirled the paint first and then added the fabric paint. I think it is easiest to do the color paint as the final step. 

Place the vases upside down on garbage bags so that all the excess paint inside can drip out. If you have access to wire racks, use those as well.

And that's it! Once the paint is all dry, add a candle votive and you are ready to impress!
