I have several jars that I don't know what to do with them but now I do. Thank you. Is there any danger of the glass from breaking if it gets too hot? This is a great idea.

They don't give a lot of light but if you don't need it for light purposes, this is safe. If you are worried about real candles, you can use the LED tealights they sell at the craft stores.

However, to keep the candles from sliding, we colored sugar in the wedding colors and put some in each jar. Sugar was cheaper then colored sand. This is an idea we used for my daugter’s wedding.
