Fall Trio!


Hi everyone! As soon as I saw the current Make It Monday over at Papertrey Ink, I knew I had to create! This is a craft project that is right up my alley- cute, cute, cute!



Mason jars are great for so many things besides canning and this project puts them to good use. I took the opportunity to turn some stashed away jars into candleholders that will be on display in my dining room for Thanksgiving! Of course, I couldn't stop at one and I would probably still be happily crafting if this contest didn't have a deadline!



The first jar was painted with buttercream acrylic paint and then heat embossed fall leaves in copper and gold. I added in a big embellished 'junk' bow and a Tremendous Tag with a very sweet sentiment! I added a bit of burlap ribbon around the lid rim, filled it with stones and put in a flickering candle.



Since I had already put large detail right on the first jar, I created a big bow for the second that would attach to the handle. This one was painted in a mixture of napthol red and burnt sienna for a rich Fall color. I added in embossed gold hearts and a bit of lace trim around the top. Lots of embellishments in this bow too. Leaves and rick rack and ribbon along with another Tremendous Tag- this one stamped with an Autumn image. It too is filled with stones and a flickering candle!



Last but definitely not least is the baby jar of the group! This one is painted in a gorgeous iridescent copper and embossed in mini polka dots of white pearl. There is an interesting diamond pattern on this jar that shows up quite nicely too! A smaller embellished tag full of more Fall leaves and sparkly ribbon is wrapped and attached to the top of the jar. These will be beautiful at Thanksgiving dinner and until then, I will enjoy their beauty!

I'm super duper inspired by these as I love doing things with my countless glass jars (I pick them up every time I'm thrift store shopping) and always looking for new and fun ways to use them. Superb!!! And thanks so much for sharing them!! Beautiful presentation too!!! :)
