Steph Creates -DIY Home And Crafts

 Hello! Today we'll be making three designs for mason jars. This project is quite simple and requires only one mason jar. We'll create three themes - a star/4th of July theme, a succulent theme, and a summer floral theme. For this craft, I had everything except for my decorative buttons. I managed to find two packs of decorative buttons at my local Walmart - one had cacti designs, and the other had floral designs. I'll take you through each step of how I used these buttons for the project.   Video tutorial Materials  One mason jar- You will only need one jar for this project Foam block- We are using three sections from the foam block.  Craft knife- Used for cutting the foam block if not already cut into sections Hot glue Paint brushes Decorative buttons, or any other decorative item Floral Paint- I'm using chalk paint on my mason jar. You will also need paint for your wooden stars if you are using them. Twine Optional-Foam stars Creating your Star/4th of July design ...

  Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share this craft with all of you. We're going to be creating a simple wood crate floral truck design. I love the little wood crate boxes that they have at Dollar Tree, and normally I purchase a few at a time because I know I will use them soon for a craft.

Set your truck aside, and allow it to dry. You can n...
