Halloween Glass Candy Jar

 Hi everyone! Today we're going to design a glass jar. I purchased one glass jar from Target. I love that this jar came with a wooden lid. I figured I would create a Halloween candy jar. This is a super easy project and takes around 20 minutes.

Materials

One glass jar--$5 at Target

Paint-I'm using black paint

One decorative Halloween napkin

Mod Podge

Paintbrush

Scissors

Optional--wood letter tiles and assorted mini pumpkins

Begin by applying black paint to your lid. Allow your paint to completely dry.


Next, take your decorative napkin, and cut two sections.



After, use your paint brush and apply your mod podge. I applied mod podge on two sections of my lid. I applied it on the top and bottom. I left the center of my lid empty. Take your napkins and apply them over the mod podge sections. Smooth out your napkins and apply mod podge on top of each napkin. I used my blow dryer to dry and smooth out my napkin.


Once you have applied your napkins onto your lid, take your hot glue and begin to add on your letter tiles. This is step is optional. 
For my assorted pumpkins, I found a pack of mini pumpkins on sticks at my local Dollar Tree store. I took each pumpkin and snapped off the stick. You can also use scissors, or floral cutters when removing the stick.  I took a little hot glue and applied a few pumpkins onto my lid.



Your Halloween glass candy jar is complete! I love how simple this was to create. I hope you have fun with this project. Be sure to let me know if you decide to create one too. Thank you so much for stopping by, and creating with me. I'll see you soon.

Wood Box With Glass Bottles Decorative Centerpiece

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. It has been pretty rainy these past few days. I'm enjoying the rainy weather compared to the really hot days we were getting before.  Today we are working on building a wood box centerpiece. Instead of using the wood crate boxes from Dollar Tree, I wanted to build my own box. For this project, we're using a wood fence picket. I paid $1.48 for one picket, and you can create two boxes with just this one picket. I'm also going to reuse my glass Frappuccino bottles. I will provide a video tutorial as well.  Video tutorial Materials   One wood fence picket- I purchased mine at my local Lowe's for $1.48 Two glass bottles-I am reusing my Starbucks glass bottles Paint Paintbrush Faux greenery Rub-on transfers Wood glue Corner clamps Hot glue One round wooden circle Floral snips Scissors Begin by cutting your wood fence picket. Cut the short ends of your wood 2½ inches. Next, cut the front, back, and bottom of your wood 6¼ inches.
