I love collecting jars and putting little things in them. Some hold holiday candy others tea, popcorn kernels, and even Cotten balls the possibilities are endless. I came a cross a picture of cute candy jars on Pinterest when looking up fall crafts and right then I knew I was going to do this. This DIY doesn't take much at all. Here's what you'll need and in my case already had on hand.
Things you'll need:
1) Your Choice of jar. I use one old candel jar and one candy jar I got last Christmas from the dollar store.
2) dollar stor candel stick holders
3) E6000 glue, I got mine at target and even Walmart carries it for about $4 - $6 dollars. It's worth it because a little goes a long way.
4) Any spray paint of your Choice I went with gold and Crystal Clear Spray Paint to protect the finish.
5) Optional black acrylic craft paint and paint brush. I use this to make it look worn and aged.
Directions:
1) wash the jars and candel sick holders with soap and warm water. Then let complete dry.
2) This is where you get creative. It's time to paint. In a well ventilated area spray paint two coats of color on to the candel stick and the top of the lids. Let dry in the two in the coats.
3) This step is optional I use a light hand and brush black on to the edges. Let paint dry, this takes no time at all. Acrylic paint dries quickly.
4) You then want to spay the Crystal clear spray paint oven the color pices. Follow the directions on the spay paint. I ues to light coats. After again set a side and let dry. About a hour or more.
5) Assemble, take the glue and put it all around the rim of the candlestick holder then place in the middle of the bottom of the jar. Put aside and let it dry over night.
By morning it will be ready for you to fill with whatever you choose. I'm currently useing mind for halloween sweet treats for my kids.
Here is how I display mind.
Hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful holiday.
