I went to Steinmart the other day and picked up these cute enamel jars that have candles inside. I stripped the jars of all labels, watercolored the focal image from the Autumn Harvest set and attached to the front of the jars where the label I stripped off was. I used Nestabilities for all the layers on the focal image. There's a tag on the lid that I made using Cuttlebug and SU circle punches. I made six of the jars for my table. Today I decorated our formal dining table and placed a jar at each place setting. My guys are complaining about the candle scent, it's vanilla cookies and very strong.

So beautiful, and what a great gift idea! Nice change from the glass container candles. Yes, the scents of some of those candles can be a bit much! TFS. Linda

Gorgeous! I saw some little ones like this in Michael's but didn't know how to remove the *decal*-like lettering at the top that they had, so I passed them up. Maybe I should have bought a few and tried to strip them like you did. This is very lovely.
