Materials needed

One candle Jar

I am reusing an old candle jar

Winter floral 

I'm using mistletoe that I purchased at the Target Dollar Spot, and it came with a bow attached 

One bow -this is optional

One mini chalkboard 

Purchased at Dollar Tree

 Acrylic All surface paint

I'm using a light blue and white

Rope/Twine

Hot glue

Paintbrush

Wire cutter

Glass candle jar












Glass candle jar

Begin by taking your candle jar, and removing all labels. I soaked my jar in warm water and with a Dawn dish soap. After soaking it for about 10 minutes, remove it from the water, and give it a scrub. 

Once you have removed all labels, make sure to completely dry your candle jar.

Painted glass candle jar
Take your white paint and apply a layer of paint over your jar. I painted around the jar, and around the top opening of my candle jar as well. Set it aside and allow it to dry, or you can take a blow dryer and help it dry a little quicker.
Acrylic paint with glass jar
Once your first layer of paint has dried, take your blue paint, and combine it with a little white paint. Apply another layer of paint over the first coat. And just repeat the process from earlier.
Hot glue, rope, and painted glass jar

Painted candle jar with rope wrapped around the top portion of jar

Take your rope, and begin to add your hot glue around the top portion of your jar. Place your rope over the areas where you have added your hot glue. Once you get to the end, just cut off any excess rope. Repeat this process with your rope, and add a second section.

Faux winter foliage

Once that is complete you can take your floral, cut it to size, and arrange the floral inside the jar. Take your bow, apply a small amount of hot glue, and add it to the front side of your jar. 

Just below your bow, you can add your mini chalkboard. Apply a small amount of glue on the back side and gently press it onto your jar. 

This is optional, but if you would like you can write, or draw on your mini chalkboard. I added a heart on my chalkboard.

Upcycled Fall Metal Wagon Decoration

 Hi everyone. I did a little craft supply shopping a few weekends ago. I couldn't resist all of the sales that were taking place. If you haven't gone to Michaels, you should definitely go soon. They have marked down quite a bit in their store. While I was there I picked up a metal wagon. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. Soon after, I was able to come up with a few ideas. I decided I'll create a new look for it and it would be added to my other fall decorations. I'll take you through what I did to upcycle my metal wagon.  Video tutorial Materials needed One metal wagon--Purchased at Michaels during their fall sale One fall decorative napkin Acrylic paint-white Mod podge Hello fall sign One popsicle stick Hot glue Paintbrush Scissors Faux fall floral Floral Cutters Foam craft blocks Optional--foam pumpkin, scarecrow, fall leaves Begin with using your paintbrush to apply your white paint onto your metal wagon.
