Favorite DIY Project for March

Today is the Favorite DIY Project over at Beneath My Heart. I thought about what my favorite was and what everyone liked and commented the most on. And my baby food apothecary jars were the winners!!!
I thought i would show a kind of review of how they were made and what I have done with them for the Holidays.

To start off here is a picture of what I used to make them. I painted the finials and candle holders black let them dry then used Gorilla glue epoxy to hold them together. I hot glued some jute around the lids also and tied a ribbon around the finial to give it a little somethin somethin.

For Valentines day I found these red puffy glittered heart at Hobby Lobby and used them inside the jars... They are so cute!!!


For St. Patrick's Day I found these glittered shamrocks at JoAnn's and loved how they looked inside too.



For Easter/Spring I had bought some tiny eggs at Goodwill and painted them to look like robin's eggs. These are my FAVORITE EVA!!!!!







I just found this little platter at Goodwill and I just love the way it looks on the shelf behind the apothecary jars. Do you like? Let me know!!!


Here is a picture of the whole shelf. I am really liking it. Hope you are too.






Thanks for coming and finding out MY favorite DIY project. I hope it was your too.. Have a great week! :O)

  5. Very cool! I love them and the idea of changing out the contents for the seasons. I know my kids would love it and it's not the least bit cheesy, always a big plus.

  15. I just want to say thanks for stopping by to see my mantel. Just a note, all 3 of my kids are under the age of 8, the youngest 3. They are still sticky, but the white slipcovers I throw in the wash, I can not do that with the couch underneith and the walls showed the dirt just as bad when they were green. When I discovered that I decided it was time to change the house to be more of me. Bit by bit each room has become more white and I love it all. I love all your ideas, I will be back to read more.
