along one long edge. Wrap the cardstock loosely around the tea light. You want to be able to easily remove the tea light, so add a little slack before overlapping the edges and gluing together to form a tube. Make snips up to the 1/2- inch crease line to form small tabs. Fold the tabs in to form a bottom.
Remove the screw hanger from
the wood slice. Remove the lid from the jar and set it down with inside facing up. Place the wood slice in the center of the jar lid and glue in place. Add glue to the tabs on the tea light cardstock ring and glue to the center of the wood slice. This will hold the tea light in place.

assortment of mice and accessory images from the stamp sets. You will use these stamped images to build your scene inside of the jar.
