DIY Flower-Embellished Glass Jar Makeover

Are you ready to give new life to that old glass jar? Join me for a fun and easy upcycling project that turns it into a beautiful flower display! I’m excited to share this quick and simple project with you. You won’t need many materials, you might already have most of them at home. Let’s take a glass jar and add a few embellishments, paint, and other finishing touches!


Quick Video Tutorial


Materials Needed:

- One glass jar

- Acrylic paint

- Heating tool (optional)

- Paintbrush

- Embellishments (I'm using flower buttons)

- Ribbon

- Hot glue

- Scissors


Materials for embellished glass jar


Applying Paint to the Glass Jar:
Start by removing any labels from the glass jar and washing it thoroughly. Then, use a paintbrush to apply your chosen paint to the jar. I began with a coat of white paint, drying the paint between each coat with a heating tool. After the white layer, I added a pink coat over the white.




Adding Ribbon to the Jar:
Cut a section of ribbon and wrap it around the upper section of the jar. Before securing it, make sure you have the length you want. Attach the ribbon to the jar with hot glue, and trim any excess ribbon with scissors.



Adding Embellishments:

 I decided to add some flower buttons as embellishments for my jar. Use hot glue to attach them securely. Remember, you can also use stickers or other embellishments based on your theme.




Finishing Touches:
To complete the look, I added a few faux pink tulips that I had on hand. This beautiful jar is a great way to display faux flowers. If you prefer to use real flowers, consider applying a clear coat sealer or a water-resistant Mod Podge to protect the paint.



This project makes a perfect addition to your Valentine's Day or spring decor, or can be incorporated into various arrangements like tiered trays and more!

 

Thank you for joining me for this quick upcycled project. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...
