Supplies

• Mason jars
• Orange slices
• Sprigs of pine
• Fresh cranberries
• Floating waterproof tealights

You an use any size mason jar you like. I’ve also used larger glass vases–whatever you have on hand to fit your need will work. You can just add more of other items to fill the container.

How to make

Start with your jar, and fill it about 2/3 full with water. Add the orange slice, then the pine, followed by the cranberries.

The last step is to add the tea light on top, which makes it a gorgeous holiday floating candle. The waterproof tealights are lovely because they automatically turn on when they touch the water.

That’s it! Seriously so easy. I love putting several of them down the middle of my table, surrounded by some extra greenery and ribbon. The glow of the candles is sheer perfection.

I just love simple, easy, and quick decor ideas that look like you spent all day.
