Project: new use for pickle jars

I saw this project on eighteen25 and loved this idea.  I'm a sucker for glass jars too and this is a decorative way to re-use glass jars.

there are some things i just can't throw away.

glass jars.... are one of those things.

why?  do you ask.

because first of all i store all sorts of stuff in them.

embroidery floss, buttons, pom pom trim, twinery twine etc...

and secondly...

you can make things with them.

i took these jars and turned them into....

these jars.

and of course it's so simple.

i just spray painted my candlesticks and lids.

 (with a grey primer first. helps to cover the writing on the jars)

then used some E6000 glue and glued the jars on top.

fill them up with whatever you'd like.

i found some gumballs and sixlets at party city. love how they are so bright and fun!

then i just added some green shredded paper and some candies to the other jar.

and the fun part is

 i can switch them out with the holidays/seasons!!

gotta love it!  :)
