DIY Glass Jar candle holders

I once saw on Pinterest about reusing a glass jar/mason jar.  Of course, I save my mason jar for making jam or kimchi, but i have TONS of other glass jars that I saved from spaghetti sauce to pickle jars.

So I made some into valentine themed candle holders.



They are soooo easy to make, you just have to try it

simply use mod podge (sold at hobby lobby, Micheal's, and major super-centers) to glue tissue paper onto the outside of the jars, then cut out whatever shapes with different color tissue paper and mod podge them onto the first layer of tissue paper. put whatever candles that fit inside them, u are DONE!

Refreshing old bread box

So we had this bread box that was just all scratched up, so i decided to sand it down and repaint it.






after a coat of paint

second coat


after painted it, i realized that the door part will not stay painted because of its constant use, so i mod podged fabric on it! 



it's now much prettier!

DIY grocery bag storage

Using a can, be it a coffee can or cookie tin, as long as you can poke a hole on the lid, this can be done.





 using glue or mod podge to glue a piece of either wrapping paper or scrapbook paper or even fabric. then if you have some alphabet stickers, stick them onto the tin/can.

simply cut open a hole on the lid.  stuff grocery plastic bags in it, place it in the bathroom for those little trash cans!
