Nativity Candle Holders

"A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell." -George Bernard Shaw

Christmas has come and gone.  The stress of the holidays is over!  I am glad for a little down time now.  I etched a nativity scene on glass jars.  




Materials:

  • Three Glass Containers
  • Etching Cream
  • Shipping Labels
  • Scissors
  • Paint Brushes
  • Glass Stain
Directions:




1. Tint the glass containers with the glass paint.  Let dry.















2. Print free nativity scene images on to the shipping labels.  Cut out the inside images and attach the labels to the glass containers.






3. Follow directions on the etching cream to etch the glasses.










I used shepherds, Mary, Joseph and Jesus, and the wise men as my characters for etching.  Add tea candles inside to light them up.
