As I've mentioned before, the decorating budget is scarce (a.k.a., almost non-existant) here in newlywed world. I've seen (and loved) DIY apothecary jars, so I went hunting the other day to see if I had the goods to make one myself.
And I did!
Here is what I rustled up from my stash of miscellaneous junk: a glass candleholder, a pink drawer pull, a gray $1 "vase" from Goodwill that had a silk pansy in it, and the glass top from a large Yankee Candle.
Paint, assemble, glue.
Place with Valentine's Day decore.
A true "trash to treasure"!

Hey Kelly...that is pure genius! :) So cute! And you know what would be really cute on it....something done with etching cream!! lol :) Just kidding! lol But seriously, don't be afraid of etching cream, just be cautious and careful when you use it...you don't want to get it on anything but what you're wanting to etch. :) (especially your hands/skin!)

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, Very, very cute. You found perfect pieces to assemble together. It has so much more personality than many I've seen. Fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute, I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, apothecary jars can be so expensive! I'm going to have to see if I can find the materials needed to make one as well.:)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have all that stuff around here somewhere! I never would have thought to use a Yankee Candle top - I always keep those, but I never know what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I love, love, love your idea! I think I may have all of the ingredients to make my very own jar, thanks for the awesome inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is seriously brilliant! It came out perfectly.
