One 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.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
