A few weeks ago my parents took my 2 year old daughter for a 3 day weekend. The weather was nice so my golf course running hubby had to work all weekend so I spend the weekend crafting.
I had an entire stash of old Mason jars {all missing their lids}. I decided that I wanted to alter them so they could be used as either vases or candle holders. Plain ol' mason jars are beautiful but I wanted them to really be special, something that people could have out on their table or mantels that would be beautiful even when empty.
I dug out my stash of goodies and played around. This is what I came up with. Please excuse the mess...this is real life people. No staging on this one.
I used nearly my entire stash of tea stained lace and used my last remaining white vintage buttons. {insert sad face here} I also altered some luggage tags {I use these things ALL the time. They are from the Office store and you get 100 for around $5}and hung them around the jars with hemp twine. I used Modge Podge to adhere the lace to the jars and it worked really well. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
Now I'm trying to think of what else I could do with mason jars. Any ideas?
