Hello!
I hope you are well
I have another candle jar to show you which I made for a friend ... These are rather addictive and cost nothing really as I recycle my jars and just use scraps of things I have lying around
once again I used a piece of recycled canvas
To decorate on both front and back
A little charm and a Rubon, some lace and a flower
It's not necessary to have a lid but I always add one so that the jar can be used for other purposes or just to make it look pretty - plus the lid isn't wasted then
I've been busy the last few days preparing notebooks and cards for my Special Needs group to make tonight ... Fortunately I have a new friend Pat, who has been coming to help me at the club and has discovered a love of both creating and working with the group ... It's not for everyone I know but so worthwhile ...
Have a wonderful day and I'll be back soon

What a fab idea. Such a great use for all those jars. I could use up all my rub-ons too! Love the little Pearly top decoration too! x
ReplyDeleteI love that you recycled, that is such a pretty item coming out of things lying around at home, love it!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, and such a great idea! Bet it was much appreciated!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candle jar decorated so pretty, Ros! Love the colors, too! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I like how you used the wire to make a handle. Hope your meeting goes well. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty gift...and to think I just threw some jars out yesterday!! Love the soft lavender color, one of my favorites!! Have fun with your group, it is so good of you to do that, and I know they must love it!! Take care my friend...and "Think Spring"!!!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for stopping by the Italian challenge blog to cheer me on, you are simply the BEST!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your recycling of the jar, Ros, it looks like you have such wonderful gifts to give! Hope you have a beautiful Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty project Ros! Great idea and way to upcycle!
ReplyDeleteA great idea! I must get into that once I return home. I think I might have gotten over my "creative block" here in Helsinki as the first thing I stumbled upon on my way from the train station to the hotel was a FABULOUS crafts store - possibly the best I've ever been in. Hope you had a good time with your Thursday club.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely. I am impressed by the way you repurposed this jar; you prettied it up and the look is chique and shabby. Just a jar turned into a gorgeous candle holder. Maybe you don't need a lid for a candle jar but I love how you decorated it.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you; hope all is well. Sending a big hug!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Ros! LOVE the soft purple and all the girly, little elements here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous creation!
