Encourage your kids to revamp used candle jars with these creative workshops!
Don't throw out a big chunk of glass after you're done burning your favorite scents. While plain glass jars can look boring on their own, painted glass jars will definitely bring a pop of color to your home. What's more? Re-use them as a pencil holder, a jar to hold loose change or simply as decor to beautify shelves at home or your kids' work desk!
In these private sessions, Merit their art instructor, will teach them:
- How to clean the candle jars from the remaining wax
- Upcycle the jars by painting them using acrylic paints
- Add additional decor using glitter
- Tips and tricks to use the jars in a variety of ways
- How to turn old candle jars into pretty snowglobes or reflective candles!
Who can take these sessions?
It is ideal that the students have some background in how to paint as this isn't an introductory painting class. However complete beginners with no prior experience are also welcome to take these sessions and make abstract art on their candle jars.
Students can choose from the 1-session and 3-session packages (2-hours per session). However, it is recommended to opt for the 3-session package as students will learn to get more creative and make snowglobes & reflective candles!
Students will typically finish revamping 1 empty candle jar per session which they can take home in the end. Though the number of jars the student can complete is subject to the student's speed.
The student can also choose what kind of candle they wish to make if they choose 1-session.
