Last week while going through my reader I saw this Pickle Jar Project post by the amazingly talented ladies at eighteen25 and fell instantly in love! I loved their idea and had all of the stuff to make them except for the primer to cover the lids. Grrrr!
Then I remembered that in addition to every glass jar that comes through my house,
I also save glass candle jars! I knew they would come in handy one day;)
Booyah!
So I took a couple of these Dollar Tree Candlesticks...
a few of these candle jars with lids...
(Better Homes and Gardens filled candles from Walmart)
Added a little of this fan-freaking-tastic crafty glue...
And TA-DA!!!!!
Fancy candy jars from stuff already in my craft stash...gotta love FREE, right?
I used some Edible Easter Grass to make a nest inside one
and filled it with mini Cadburry Eggs...my favorite candy of the season.
YUM!
Hello Lovelies!
I filled the other two with Jelly Beans and Peanut Butter Cups,
and tied spring colored ribbons around each jar.
I love that these are completely neutral
and can be used for any holiday just by changing out the candy and the ribbon!
These would also be cute for a baby shower, birthday party, bridal shower, etc.
As you can see I left the jar with a different lid as it was,
so I could have a little height variation.
They add such a fun pop of Spring color!
I {LOVE} Color.
Yeah, so I know that my print there is not "Eastery",
but I LOVE it and the colors just make me so happy.
Plus I will be SNAPPING alot of photos on Easter, so I think it fits;)
Here is what the entire top of my Buffet looks like...notice how everything is pushed in a good 8 inches? Yeah, that's because of my very mischievous curious 18 month old.
Here are the posts for the other items in this photo:
Oh, and I am sure you want to know:
The jars are not that full anymore, and for some reason my pants no longer fit.
Hmmmmm, wonder how that happened?
