Hi everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive. Fall is my favorite season of them all. I love the golden leaves, hot apple cider by the fire pit, sitting out in the evenings roasting marshmallows. It is simply the best for me. Do you have a favorite season? What do you enjoy about it?
Today I am sharing a quick upcycle craft. I decided to use my glass Oui yogurt jars. I love these little jars and what a perfect way to reuse them. I will show you how to decorate these jars using mod podge, and acrylic paint. We will add faux flowers to each glass jar as well.

Materials
Three small glass jars
I'm reusing my Oui glass yogurt jars
Twine
Acrylic paint
Paintbrushes
Mod podge
Decorative napkin
Faux floral and foliage
Decorative tape/Washi tape
Scissors
Applying paint to glass yogurt jars
Begin by applying your paint to two of your glass jars. Each jar needed around three coats of paint.
I used acrylic chalk paint.
Cutting your decorative napkin to size
Next, take your decorative napkin and begin to cut out any of the decorations you will want to use on your jars. I cut out a few of my leaf designs from my napkin. After, I cut a strip of my napkin. I'll use the strip on my unpainted jar.
Adding Mod Podge and napkin to glass jars
Next, take your decorative napkin cut-outs and add them to your glass jars using your paintbrush. I decided to add my leaf cutouts to two of my glass jars. I applied a thin layer of Mod Podge and gently added each leaf piece over the Mod Podge sections. After, take a layer of Mod Podge and apply it over each leaf cut out. I used my blow dryer to help smooth out my napkin over my glass jars.
I added the longer section of my napkin to the bottom of my unpainted glass jar. I applied the Mod Podge around the bottom of my glass jar. After applying Mod Podge, I took the napkin section and laid it over the Mod Podge. Repeat the previous steps when finishing off your Mod Podge and napkin section.
Adding decorative tape and twine
If you have any decorative tape, you can add it to the top section of your unpainted glass jar. I recently bought a set of assorted decorative tape and decided to add the tape around the top of the glass jar.
After, take some twine and wrap it around the top sections of your two painted glass jars. I used a little hot glue to keep the end of the twine down before wrapping it around the glass jar.
Once you have wrapped your twine around your jar, take your scissors cut off any of the remaining twine, and glue down that section.
Also, you can add beads, wooden leaves, or other embellishments to your twine.
Adding faux floral to each jar
All that is left is to add your flowers to your jar. I added a few extra napkins on the inside of each of my glass jars before placing my flowers inside.
Your fall floral decor glass jar display is complete and ready to be displayed. I love how simple this project was. It was great reusing these cute little glass jars.
I love those yogurt jars and they absolutely can be put to use for something else. Love what you did with them here! Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 124. Pinned.
Love how you reused your yogurt glass jars Stephanie. They are too cute, I am with you, I am so ready for fall. At least I think so... I have been spending a lot of time this summer outside so maybe I am not ready for cooler weather afterall?
Wow, these are so pretty. I always think those French yogurts should have some additional use for the glass jars. ;) ha I love this. Pinning! Visiting from Tell it To Me Tuesday. I'd love to have you share this on my new weekly blog linkup, too. https://lifetalesbooks.blogspot.com/p/calling-fellow-bloggers.html

Happy Summer! I'm excited to share this simple DIY craft with you. I found some cute summery napkins at my local Dollar Tree and knew I wanted to create another summer craft, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to create. Today I will show you how to create these simple summer coasters that are perfect for the season. Video tutorial Easy Breezy DIY: How To Make Summer Coasters Materials: - Round wood circles - Napkins - Mod Podge (I'm using the dishwasher-safe one) - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - One cork sheet (I'm using the adhesive cork sheet from Dollar Tree) Begin by taking your adhesive cork sheet and flipping it over so that the adhesive backing is facing up. Next, take a pencil and start to trace each of your round wooden circles. Then, take your scissors and cut out each of the traced circles. You can use a craft knife to make any necessary adjustments. After that, take your circles and begin to remove the back of each of the cork circles exposing the sticky backin...
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. 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 acrylic paints and started...
