Have you seen these adorable candleholders?
So cute as a bathroom goodies holder too.
I LOVE them. So, of course I found a way to make them!
Here’s mine…
Items Needed to Make:
Jars
Wire
Wire Cutter
Pliers ( I used a needle-nose)
I had mason jars leftover from a project a few years, but you could use pizza sauce jars, salsa jars, etc.
I put the wire around the jar (at the spot it will wrap around) and then tripled that. Cut your wire with a wire cutter at that point.
Then I folded the wire in half, having the ends meet. I wanted to twist my wire (like PB)… so I started doing a braid-twist. I left a small part untwist where the wire was bent (where my finger is in the photo below) to form 1 loop.
Once twisted completely, I wrapped it around the jar, connecting the ends. This is where you really want the pliers. So this end has the loop that you created when you folded the wire.
It will be loose. Then go across the jar and use your pliers to form your second loop. Form the loop by twisting.
Then decide how long you want your handle. You need to double that length + a couple inches.
Bend the handle wire in half and put it through one of your loops. Now twist this wire (just as I did before). Then take the end of your looped handle and put it through the loop on the other side and twist it with your pliers till tight and snug .
Love them filled with shells…
Perfect for Spring & Summer decor…
How about some sand and a tea-light candle?

I've seen these in the PB catalog and wanted some! Your's turned out great!
~Rebekah
Love yours! They turned out really cute!
Nancy
Love these. They look great…actually the whole room looks great!
I have seen them, and I knew that someone out here in this super talented blog world would make them! So cute
They turned out really cute. I love them.
I love those. So simple yet goregeous.
What a great idea! I'm going to try this!
Such a great idea and thanks for sharing how you made them. I linked my plans for accessorizing our new outdoor room right below your link, and mason jar candle holders were on my list. Now I am definitely going to try this. Thanks again!
How fun! Love these. I may have to make some to go on the patio this summer. Thanks for sharing!
The minute I saw these in the catalogue I knew I wanted to make them. I mean, PB is asking $17 for ONE! I think you can buy a case of 24 mason jars at Wal-Mart for about $12!
wow! great job. They look fabulous in your bathroom.
thanks for sharing!

They look great! They would be wonderful on a deck for an evening party!
Please don't get soot on your beautiful white walls. I'll have to start looking for those mason jars, I like the blue ones. I think they are hard to find.
Great job!
Too, too cute! I must try this! =)
Adorable! I have these in my inspiration file too! They look great in your new bath!
Very cute. I did something like this with curved vases for my daughter's wedding reception. It was an outdoor reception and we hung them from trees.

So pretty with the seashells. Love it!
Beautiful!!
Now isn't that cute! So very clever
So cute! I just love DIY Pottery Barn projects. Thanks for sharing.
Simply marvelous! You did a great job.I really like them and think they would be gorgeous with fresh cut flowers this summer.
These look great! Mason jars are one of my favorite things in the world!
Looks SO do-able and they are so pretty!
~Bridgette
Love em!! I am a sucker for mason jars!
These looks so good! Thank you for explaining how you did it!
I love Pottery Barn inspired things. These have been on my list to do as well! Thanks for showing the how to.
P.S. I just linked up my PB inspired idea. You'll have to ck it out!
Thanks for sharing!
Nicely done and very versatile! I can't believe PB is selling mason jars now.
So cute! Those look beautiful in your bathroom too!
Blessings,
Stacey
Those are so cute. Thanks for posting your instructions. Think I'm going to have to go out and buy myself some wire this afternoon (because I have boxes of mason jars to play with).
These look great!!!
What a great idea! I can't wait to try this with some of my jars! I love these kinds of projects that I can make with things I already have around the house. Very thrifty! Thanks for showing me how.
Love this!! Now I've gotta find my mason jars.
who would have thought they look so awesome? you did a fantastic job, maryann! thanks for sharing the *how-to* for us.
Great job! Yours are very cute with the natural colors.
I'm totally infatuated with this idea! Love the casual appeal and how you can actually hang them. The sand addition? Amazing.
Thanks for linking up to SNS! You're being treated to some sidebar love this weekend.

Ooo awesome! I've always wanted to make jars like that but wasn't sure what to do with the wire. Thanks for the info!
Wow, these turned out amazing! I've posted your picture with your link! Thanks for sharing this!
Stacey
Yours look just as good. I've recently washed out three similar jars from Barn Candles and didn't know what I wanted to do with them – now I know!
Thanks!
~Sam
Super cute! I did something similar for my wedding, we made our with coat hangers instead. Got lots of compliments, just like you are. Nice work.
I picked these out too…if you want to save your fingers use your drill to twist the wire–I do it all the time! Followed the plate link too very nice!
These are great…I always wanted to get some jars at the HL but never knew what to do with them…now i do!!
These are so cute. I love that filled yours with shells.
I'm featuring a necklace tutorial and giveaway. I'd love it if you stopped by my blog!
I've seen these, too. You've displayed them so well.
These are fabulous! And I LOVE your framed shells too
Those are so wonderful and easy too. i want to make some, might try to rust the wire–thanks for linking up!
These are soooo cute! I love them, and I want your bathroom…like, i'm going to rip it out of your house and somehow attach it to mine…its adorable!
These are Perfect!! great job!!!
~Tana
I love how you hung them! they look so fresh – like being right at the beach!

So cute! I'm adding this to my file!
These are so cute… especially hanging in your beautiful bathroom!
I love, love, love this! I have been decorating pottery barn style ever since we remodeled 2 years ago and I just recently discovered there catalog and website. We don't have a Pottery Barn within a 3 hour drive from where I live and I hadn't even looked at it till I started reading blogs 4 months ago. I am going to try these too. Yours are so cute!
I fell in love with those when I first saw them in the PB catalog. Thanks for the great tutorial!
These have always been a favorite of mine. I will have to try the twisting of the wire! I think I may have a jar or two around here
I LOVE this idea, and a bathroom redo is scheduled for this spring/summer.
I want to know why you decided NOT to put the pegs in the boards vs attaching a board w/ pegs. This is what sold me on the idea, plus I do want to do a blue/brown colors in my bathroom (which is what you have done).
Thanks for the inpiration.
