DIY Lovely Jars

As love week wraps up, chocolate and flowers all go on sale. I have taken this opportunity to indulge. Cinnamon hearts and flowers always keep me content. 
My inspiration.

Love Day did bring beautiful flowers (thank you boyfriend!) but I could not resist buying more flowers yesterday at the St. Catharines Farmers Market.

Okay, Okay. Truth is, this week I saw this idea for re-creating a mason jar on pinterest and could not resist trying to make it myself. Obviously I needed something pretty to put inside. (like market flowers)

my tools 

  The Tools:
  Old Mason Jar (my suggestion is one from goodwill on 50% off Fridays)
  Glue Gun
  Extra Glue Sticks
  Matte Spray Paint
  Marker

  To Create:
  Wash the jar and wipe dry.
  Sketch out the design or word you would like on   the jar.
  Cover your design or word with glue.
  Spray paint the outside of the jar.
  Let dry.



AND voilà....


Make the love last all year.

  4. Wow this actually looks really easy to do if you were in a pintch for centre pieces or a vase or something. It would be a good mothers day gift too. 50% from goodwill, nice.

  5. This is adorable! It looks really easy, and yours turned out amazingly. I would say I'm going to try it, but knowing me I'll end up with a glue-gun burn and spray painted eyebrows. I applaud your craftiness though, I'll pass this one on to one of my more crafty friends.

  6. This looks nice. I don't know I can be able to try this. I'm not good at all using my hands ( except for writing)...It is sad
