Jar Art


Here's an idea for your old Mason jars and old candles!
Here is what you need: Old jars, old candle jars, spray paint of your choice ( I chose pink, this picture looks orange), regular crafting paint, and flame-less candles (optional) 
1. Clean out jars. Boil water and put the jars in the boiling water. This helps when you want to reuse candle jars and there is just a little bit of wax at the bottom. 
2. Once the jars are clean and dried spray paint them
3. Write words/letters on jars
4. Put flame-less candles inside the jars

Spring Flowers!


Here's a fun and easy way to Spring up your house!
This is what you need: Some old beer bottles, and I used an old coffee container for the center piece. Green spray paint. Flowers.
1. Spray paint the bottles/containers green (or a color of your choosing) 
2. Once the new vases are dry, fill them with flowers and display in your house! 

Chalk Board Vase

Here's what you need; Vase (I used a recycled taco sauce glass bottle), chalkboard paint, flowers, and chalk
1. Paint the Vase ( I recommend to buy the spray paint because it's easier for vases)
2. Fill vase with flowers
3. Write message on the vase with chalk

Wine Bottle Recycled


Recycled Wine Bottles
There are many different crafts that you can do with Wine bottles. Today I am going to share one of them.
Here's what you will need:
Wine bottle (labels off and cleaned and dry)
Spray Paint (color of choice)
paper towel roll 
Scissors
Hot glue Gun

1. Take your wine bottle outside and spray paint it the color of your choosing. I chose purple to go with my bedroom
2. While that is drying cut off 1/2 inch circles from the paper towel roll tube and hot glue them together into a flower shape.
3. When the wine bottle is dry, glue the flower onto the bottle. Some might want to paint the flower first but I like the cardboard look. 
4. And now you have a decorative piece perfect for any place in the house!
