Travis insisted that it was a little strange, however, I told him that I wanted to make a craft with them. After much searching, I found a link on Pinterest which led me to the Gleeful Things blog. There I found an idea for glass jar lumanaries. I thought to myself, "hmmm... I have a few jars lying around." Using my glass jars, homemade mod poge, tissue paper, and cardstock paper, I turned my boring glass jars into these colorful, Halloween jars.
I placed some tea light candles inside them that I had lying around the house and ta-daa!!!
Sadly, I made the mistake of coating my spider jar with a little too much green, but it still looks pretty cute in the day time.
Needless to say, I think it was worth saving all of those jars! This project gave me some ideas for more projects. When I have time to finish them, I will be sure to post more photos.
So what do you think of my glass jars? Were they worth saving? I think my favorite jar is my jack-o-lantern. Which one is your favorite?
P.S. Are you on Pinterest? 
I really love the bat jar! So cute! I've seen other ideas of using modge podge and fall leaves to create the same time of effect!
ReplyDeleteWow! I thought these were professional! I like the bat one :) You could totally use these in your future classrooms too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They took forever to make, but I think it was worth it. As newlyweds, we haven't started our "holiday decorations collection" yet and so our apartment is very un-festive. I think the bat jar does look pretty cute when it's all lit up. The blue makes it look like they are flying through the night sky.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I think I might attempt to make one with leaves next. Such a cute idea!
Rachel, I definitely could! I think it would be fun for students to make them, or just use them to decorate my classroom.
