Photo Luminary

Recycle an old candle jar by turning it into a photo luminary. This is a good way to recycle and make something pretty for your home. This is a one of the very cool ways to use vellum paper. 

Materials: Old candle jar, translucent vellum paper, printer, mod podge, foam brush, ruler and a candle.

This is how vellum looks against the light.

Step 1: Pick a picture and print it onto the translucent vellum paper. Make proper adjustments so it fits onto your candle jar. (Try using using candle jars that are cylinder or square in shape).

Step 2: Using the foam brush, brush on mod podge glue onto the candle jar.

Step 3: Quickly place the picture onto the glue and smooth it out. (It's important to smooth it out because bubbles will form and when your luminary is lighted the bubbles will be noticeable.)

SIDE NOTES:

1) You can either completely cover your candle jar with pictures or you can just use one. Your choice.

2) If you use more than one picture try not to overlap them because once your luminary is lighted the overlapping will be noticeable as well.
