These are some of my Valentines decorations:
The vase is from the dollar spot at Target, and the silk flower is from Michaels. The jars are old baby food jars with fabric scraps mod podged around them.
Don't you just love the fun pop of color?
My anniversary is two weeks after Valentines Day, so I like to leave up all my love decor until then. I will still be posting pink stuff for a bit. Deal with it! ;)
I love how the candles glow through the pretty fabrics!
Here's how to make these:
1.Measure your jar...any jar will work
2.Cut your fabric to size. I used pinking shears to keep my fabric from fraying.
3. Paint mod podge around the outside of the jar.
4. Place fabric on the jar, smoothing out any bubbles.
5. Paint a layer of mod podge over the fabric to seal it.
Grab a tealight and enjoy the sweet glow.
My favorite thing about these is that they are equally cute with or without a candle burning and are a great way to display tiny scraps of your favorite fabrics.
I am linking up to some of these lovely blogs.
Give them some L.O.V.E!

Amy, you can be sure I'll pass this tip on to my daughter. When I was babysitting last week she had a couple of these babyfood jars sitting on her sink and I wondered what she was planning to use them for. Great idea, they're really cute.
