How to Make

• Visit your nearby craft stores or large discounts stores and buy the pinwheels, flags, stars, and ribbons.

• Take white rice and use food color to make them blue and red. Pour some rice in a glass bowl, drop a few drops of color on them, and blend well. Once done, pour the red rice in the jar first, white rice in the middle, and blue at the top.

Instead of pinwheels and stars, you can use only candles too.

• Tie the blue and red raffia or ribbons around the neck of the jar.

• Strike the stars, pinwheels, and flags in the rice and voila! It’s done!

• Prepare two or three more jars in the same way and stack them together on the dining table to make a cute centerpiece.

Tips

• You can fill the jar with anything else you like.

• Instead of the pinwheels, flags, and stars, you can simply put one candle in each of the jars. They will look nice when they are lit.

You can use other items like gum balls inside the jars
