Activity: creation of tea candle holders made with glass jars
Topic: creative upcycling
What do you need: glass jars (at least one per participant; glass painting; sponges; golden and silver permanent markers and acrylic paint
Description.
At first you need to clean the glass jars keeping away the paper they have (if you are using recycled ones from jam or the pickles). Dry them and paint with the glass painting using sponges instead of brushes. We suggest to paint each jar with just one colour or some nuances because the next step will be the decoration. Let the jars dry completely.
Now it's time to create decorations in arabic style. At first you can paint the upper side of the jars with golden or silver glass painting or acrylic and then start to decorate the jar with the markers. Here attached some examples of decorations that can be copied on the jars with carbon paper or they can be used just as inspiration

Take the stick away and your straw is ready. Consider that you will need 4-5 straws per flower, so you need to create many of them!
