*Love* day is sneaking up on us fast!
Have you started decorating for Valentine's day?
Here is a simple decoration I threw together in less than 10 minutes, and for only abut $3 total!
After emptying out my winter apothecary jars, I wanted to decorate them for Valentines Day. So I bought a bag of the chalk-like conversation hearts that no one will eat anyway and poured them into the jar. The bag only filled up one of the jars, and I wasn't about to go buy more... so what to do??
*lighbulb*
I grabbed two empty toilet paper rolls and put one in the center of each jar. Then, I carefully poured hearts in to cover them up. And voila! The jars look full and no one will ever know... until now, anyway. Then I taped some glittery silver ribbon {the same kind I used for the Magic Santa Key} around the top of the jar to give it some glittery-goodness.
*LOVE* it!!
I love your tiny heart canvas and apothecary jars!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! So cute and simple!
ReplyDeleteJust got back from a breeze thru marshaLLS WHERE I PASSED ON A LOVELY $10 APOTHECARY JAR (oops, why so capital-y?) telling myself I didn't have anything to put in it...so that will be in the cart tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteNice transformation! :D
ReplyDeleteVery Cute!

Aren't you the smart one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shirley
what a clever idea I always hate wasting so much candy as decor I hope you'll add it to my What We Wore and Made Party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com/search/label/WWWMW
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I love your idea of using the toilet paper in there as filler. You're right, people don't eat much of that candy either! I would love if you would consider linking this up to my "Drab to Fab" Link Party this Friday :) The theme is turning the ordinary into extraordinary using a little creativity. This post embodies that, so I know my readers would love to see it! Here's a link for more info on the party.
