Christmas Crafts

You'll need the following materials:

  • Alete jars
  • Craft glue or a hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • Felt
  • LED tea lights

Craft Instructions

Here's how it works: 

  • Remove the Alete label with hot water
  • Cut the felt to fit around the jar
  • Draw a shape of your choice on the felt (Tip: Cookie cutters make great stencils)
  • Cut out the shape
  • Glue the felt onto the jar using craft glue (if that isn’t strong enough, feel free to use a hot glue gun)
  • Insert the LED tea lights

Of course, this new Christmas decoration also makes a great gift!
