What you need:
- lace material (any colour you want!)
- Sticky fixers / or super glue

- metal wire

- chord string - any colour you want

- old glass jar

- curling pliers 

- cutting snips 

Step 1:

-wrap the lace around the jar

- when desired length is found, cut the lace to this length

- stick the lace in place at the point of joining - I used a piece of sticky fixer but you can use a dab of super glue (wait for it to dry before step 2 though!)

Step 2:

-Using the chord, tightly tie around the lace sealing with a bow

Step 3:

- Cut the metal wire using the snips to the length of 2 times the circumference of the jar 

(so that it wraps around twice)

Step 4:

- Create one loop that will securely fit around the jar lip using pliers

- Make it so that you can tighten the loop once it is fitted on the jar

Step 5:

- Form a handle with the excess wire

- Secure with a loop using your pliers

- Apply to the jar lip, once on adjust to a secure fit using your pliers

- Add a tea-light candle and ta-da! Your D.I.Y tea-light holder is done!
