Sitting outside when the weather is nice is always a highlight, and the garden candles are easy to make from glass jars with screw-on lids and can simply be plugged onto the wooden stick. A great decorative idea for the garden or a lovely small present for a barbecue evening.
Once the candle has burnt down, you can refill the jars with wax for candles or place a tea light inside. You can then use them again. To prevent the candles from getting wet in a shower, they can be screwed shut until the next time.
It's that simple:
First print out our template. Cut it to size and stick it to the glass using adhesive tape. Trace the lines with a black varnish marker.
Now melt approx. 12 tablespoons of organic wax colouring pastilles at a low temperature. You can add the wax colouring pastilles according to your desired colour intensity. In our example, we have added 3 colour pastilles to the wax. Place the wick in the centre of the jar. To prevent it from slipping, you can place two wooden spatulas on the edge of the jar to help hold it in place. Pour the wax into the jar. When it is completely dry, trim the wick with scissors.

Spray the lids and the 3 candle sockets with white colour spray. Once dry, apply mounting glue to the bottom of the candle socket and stick it in the centre under the candle jar. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Plug one end of the stick into the candle socket. Your garden torch is ready!
Tip: When you're not using your garden torch, screw the lid on so that no rain gets into the candle.
