I have recently found a use for my collection of mason jars! I had no idea how many NEAT decorative pieces they can be transformed into!
If I had more money, jars, time and permanent residence... I would create this AMAZING light fixture!
BUT that is not the case so I went with my original plan to use them as spring vases ;c) Last night I had the pleasure of going to the craft store to pick up supplies for my upcoming sign project... While I was there I picked up some faux flowers to place in the jars.
Let me back up, this kinda all started when I was doing the laundry the other day and a string on a pair of shorts had come out and I thought it was a COOL looking pattern.... I called upon my creative side and decided to snip a piece and tie it around a mason jar.. hmmm... TA-DA! This simple project was born... *Obviously this is a common craft and do not take credit for the original idea*
I cut off a few tips and placed them at the bottom of the jars for more color ;c) I think they turned out pretty well! Springy center piece for the mantel above the fireplace.. YAY!
Now... what to do with the other two jars I have on standby... Soap dispenser? Lantern? The possibilities are endless...
Now to find a piece of old wood... hmmmmmmm
another fantastic project! i love that you put a few of the flower buds at the bottom to help spread the color :) And those two little boy figurines are adorable :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the light fixture/chandelier idea!!
