Three Easy Mason Jar Designs

  Hello! Today we're creating three mason jar designs. This project is fairly simple and takes only one mason jar. We are going to create three designs, a star/4th of July theme, a succulent theme, and a summer floral theme.  I had everything except for my decorative buttons on hand. I found two packs of decorative buttons at my local Walmart. One is a cacti design, and the other is a floral design. I'll show you how I used my decorative buttons for this craft.   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.

Today I'm going to show you how to take one of the Dollar Tree metal house plaques and turn it into a cute farmhouse decoration.  We're using just a few materials, my main materials were purchased from my local Dollar Tree store.

DIY Wood Crate Floral Truck 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.
