Fall Floral Display Using Glass Yogurt Jars

 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.

Mod podge
Decorative napkin
Faux floral and foliage
Decorative tape/Washi tape

Applying paint to glass yogurt jars

Two glass jars, acrylic paint and one paintbrush

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.


Two glass jars, twine and scissors on a table

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.

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.

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.
