DIY Candle Holder Project

In the survey, quite a few of you asked for DIY posts so I decided to start off with a simple, county décor piece that can also be elegant!
I love candles! I'm not usually fond of the normal floral scents that you find with the Yankee candles and such, but I love simple, fruity, natural scents. I also love creative candle holders.
I saw something similar to this on Pinterest the other day and since then have found a lot more ideas on how to use canning jars to decorate your home.
So, here's what I did with just three items to create centerpieces for our table.
My supplies:

Two quart canning jars with rings, but no lids...
Picture
Two candles...

And coffee beans.
I placed the two candles in the jars and centered them, then poured the coffee beans in around them, evening them out with my finger. The smell was delicious even without the candles lit! I had to go get a cup of coffee after making these!
There are lots of ways to take this same idea and put your own creative twist on it. I thought about using pea stone instead of coffee beans, but I like the aroma.
If any of you use this same idea or added your own twist to it, I'd love to hear what you did! Or if you have other DIY projects you have done, I'd love to hear about those as well! You can send me a note here.

Great idea! Did you use regular candles or were they scented as well?

They have been sitting on our table since this post and still look lovely.
Carmen, they were unscented, but I think vanilla would go well with the coffee :)
