My name is Gina Bell (aka East Coast Mommy), and I am super excited to be visiting you on the West Coast today. 
I am a mom of three small boys (which I had in 3 1/2 years), so I like projects that are fun, easy, and inexpensive. The project I have for you today is no exception — tealight holders {in Earth Day colors} made from old babyfood jars. Cute, right?
All you need is a babyfood jar (cleaned out), some blue and green tissue paper, and some glue. (You’ll need to thin out the glue to the consistency of paint — approximately 3 tbsp glue for each 1 tbsp water.)
Here’s how easy it is to make one of these adorable tealights with your little one:
First, cut the tissue paper into little squares. They don’t have to be uniform or a certain size because they are going to be layered onto the jar.
Then, using a paintbrush, apply glue to a small section of the babyfood jar, and attach a piece of tissue paper. Continue to apply glue and tissue paper until the entire jar is covered.
Finally, wait for the glue to dry, and then apply a thin coat of glue over the top of the tissue paper.
I think we might make a bunch of these and have a candle lit {Earth Day} dinner. My boys would love it!
Happy Earth Day, and I hope you come visit me at East Coast Mommy some time.
