One more day of this week’s obsession with Mason Jars…well at least for now!  Sure there will be more in the future!

These Candle Jars would look great on a mantle, table or lining the walkway and steps to the house…

Supplies:

Large Mason Jars, Epsom Salts, Small ornaments or decorations, White votives or taper candles, Ribbon

Fill the jars about a third of the way with the Epsom salts and place the candles down in the center.

Add some small ornaments or decorations.

Finish off with a ribbon on the lid.  I would have liked to spray paint the lids silver to match my colors…but didn’t have any the day I wanted to do this.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  And I love it!  This is my family’s favorite time of the year. In fact, I think my husband gets more excited about it than my three boys!  He just loves the warm, cozy feel of the lights and decorations and sitting by a crackling fire…me too!

So, some Christmas vases for you today!

Supplies:

Mason Jars, green and red acrylic paint, circle cutter and white cardstock, Sparkle Mod Podge, paintbrush, ribbon

Fill the bottom of each jar with paint and shake until the whole jar is covered.

Flip the jars upside down for about 15-30 minutes so the extra paint can drain out.

Cut out the white circles to make polka-dots on the vases. Glue those on with the Sparkle Mod Podge and paint over the entire jar.  I painted two coats to make it really sparkle.

Let dry and add ribbon to the jar lids to finish it off.

A whimsical way to display your holiday flowers or small pine boughs!

I hope your Christmas season, so far, is merry and bright!
