I will never get tired of seeing new mason jar ideas! This one came from Cheryl at Tidy Mom. She is using colored rice and candles to add patriotic flair to this season’s get-togethers. Cheryl says, “I love how simple and pretty they look during the day and even better when glowing on a summer night at dusk.” I bet you probably already have all the ingredients for this super-quick decoration!
Cheryl separated her rice and mixed in red and blue food coloring. After letting the rice dry, she layered the three different rices inside her mason jars. Then you just gently add a votive or tea light and you’re done! Not only is it simple and fast, it would be a great craft to do with kids. Bonus tip: “Place the top on the jars and store away in between parties or for next year!”

So…with only red and white rice… it would work for a Christmas candy cane effect.
This is a great idea. Different color combos for different occasions or events. Maybe even School colors.
