Jelly Moulds

 
After seeing some "jelly mould" lights for sale in a shop I decided to make some,  when I say "I" what I really mean is  "my nephew who is an electrician" made them for me!!
 
 
He gave me a list for a few bits and pieces that we'd need and popped round one afternoon last week to make and wire them up for us and after a bit of "drilling and wiring" an hour or two later  they were up.
 
 
 
 
 
They're lovely and  bright and we probably could have just had one  on each side but  as I have a large collection of moulds I thought we'd go for two.
 
 
 
These are some of my  moulds that I usually have dotted about the kitchen,  now it's darker it's time to draw the curtains and light some candles so I thought use some of the glass moulds,
 
 
 
 
 I got these battery operated tea lights from Poundland ( 4 lights for a pound) much safer than lit candles  with 3 dogs mooching about the room
 
 
 
and they look good turned upside down with the lights underneath
and  they give off a nice warm glow.
 
 
 
I saw some knickerbocker glory glasses filled with vanilla scented candles today I might have to have one or two for the kitchen windowsill....upcycling at it's very best!

I must admit I'd never seen the point of those battery tea lights before but I love the idea of putting them under the moulds! Brilliant x Jane

Really lovely idea! I have the Poundland tealights too, they are really good value and last forever, but I randomly find them 'on' when they've been turned 'off'!
