I absolutely love decorating with vintage canning jars. These super easy Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives are the perfect addition to an outdoor patio. If you have a tree in you back yard, then try hanging these Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives in the lower branches. The candle will be surrounded by glass and safe as long as you are outside to keep an eye on them.
You can also hang these Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives on a chain link fence to dress it up or even inside a large patio umbrella inside on the rungs.
Finally, these Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives also can pull double duty as hanging bud vases! Put a little water in your Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votive and add a single blooming lower inside! Too cute. You can hang these on your front porch; in that tree we just talked about, and along privacy fences on simple garden hooks.

Now, you will not need the lids to make these Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives, so place them somewhere safe and use them for another vintage craft project.
Now, all you need to do is cut a piece of 20-gauge wire that can wrap around the mouth of your canning jar about 6 times.
Cut this with some tin snips. Now, wrap the wire around the open mouth of the jar, just under the rim to hold it into place. Finish off by threading the loose end of the wire through the wrapped wire.
Now, cut off one piece of 20-gauge wire that is about 6 – 8 inches long.
Slip one in the wrapped wires on the top of the canning jar and tie it to the vintage-canning jar.
Repeat this on the exact opposite side. This will make you vintage canning jar handle that it can hang from.
Now, pour in about 1 -2 inches of sand in the bottom of your vintage canning jar.
Drop in a small tea candle and you are finished.
Now, you can hang this safe candle votive in quite a few places.
If you are having a party at your home try using vanilla scented candles and hanging a row of these Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives in the bathroom window.
You can attach some hooks to the middle of the window on the wood frame and hang a few there!
Vintage canning jars come in all sizes and colors! So, mix and match to create a huge collection of Vintage Canning Jar Hanging Candle Votives.
