Take a plain jam jar. You can either buy these or at a much cheaper price pick up a jar of savers jam from a supermarket and clean the jar out, then leave it to dry Hot water helps soak of the label
For the first candle holder, take a piece of lace and glue it to the middle of the jar
Wrap the lace around and cut it at a point where the ends overlap, then glue it down
Cut out a red heart from a scrap of felt
Glue the heart to the front of the jar
Second candle holder - take another jar
Use the glue gun to draw the shape of a heart on your jar and then place the wool on the glue, leaving a long strip hanging down
Glue spirals around the jar and wrap the wool on top of it, cutting off any excess when you are finished
1 more jar to go
Repeat the same process as the one before to glue the heart but you don't need any excess - chop that bad boy off I tried twine for this one instead of wool, for a vintage feel to it
Rip up a few pages from an old book into small pieces Use some mod modge (or PVA) to layer the pages to the jar and make sure you do a thin coat over the top as well to give it a varnished look once dried
So there you have it, 3 easy candle holders - but don't let that stop you, there are lots of different styles you can try out with bits and piece you can find round the house!
