Apply decoupage medium to the back of the one of the brown strips of paper and wrap it around the neck of one jar. Apply decoupage to the back of one red paper strip and wrap it around the center of the brown strip. Repeat for the other jar. Remove the corks from the jars and place a candle in each opening.
