What I love about crafting is that you can use and re-use old things such as clothing or burned out glass candle holders. Make a candy corn luminary with old knit t-shirts.
Candy Corn luminary
Two of my FAVORITE materials to work with, knit fabric and glassware. Since it’s Halloween time I thought of what to do with my kids’ outgrown t-shirts and my empty, burned down candles in glass. Besides, it’s a great budget saving project since it’s basically free! Here is a candy corn knit fabric wrapped candle holder DIY!
