this project has been on my {insanely long} to do list forever, but I finally did it! & this is such an easy DIY that I feel silly even having a step-by-step tutorial. seriously.
I am not a huge candle burner (it scares me to death that I will accidently leave a candle burning!) but I do like having candles as décor. on the off-chance that I do want to light a candle though, I wanted a matchstick holder that looked nicer than a matchbox.

yep, this is a tutorial for gluing a strike pad on the bottom of a glass jar!
supplies:
-
glass jar or container (I used a small Diptyque candle)
-
box of matches – you will need the strike pad & matches (you could also probably use sandpaper)
-
pencil
-
scissors
-
glue
{after finishing the candle I cleaned out the wax using boiling water // I liked the green-tipped matches}
{cut out the strike pad // trace & cut to fit to slightly smaller than the bottom of the container}
{glue the strike pad down & let dry // add matches}
voila! easiest DIY ever & it looks so much better on our bathroom vanity.
are you a candle lover?
