I had such a great time doing this project! Like I said, I can't take credit for the idea...the wonderful sisters over at Shanty2chic had this fab idea.
I purchased everything seen here at Hobby Lobby....with exception on the candle stick holders. I had purchased them at Hobby Lobby, but then found some that seemed better, more sturdy, at Michaels.
I then painted everything in Lamp Ebony paint from Americana
Next, distress the crud out of everything! Everyone knows I don't do a project without taking my frustrations out on it :)
I then stained my wood pieces to give it a more finished look.
Hot glue your jute around the rim of the lid
Glue your pieces together using a very firm and sturdy glue. I used Elmer's Nano glue. You have to use this carefully and sparingly because it foams (bad experience from past projects :) The Shanty sisters recommended Gorilla glue. I waiting 24 hours before filling my jars, but I am soooo in love with them!! For Christmas I plan on filling them with Christmas goodies and the letters for JOY....in between holidays fillers like these can be used.
Happy crafting!!!

I love it Becky!! How much would you charge for some of these? You know I'm a better buyer than crafter!!
So cute!!! I wish I had the room for all these cute ideas you have!
Aww, you finished before I did. I bought all the stuff, but haven't had time to do it yet. Shanty2Chic is one of my favorite blogs. Your jars turned out so cute! I'm working on a Rod Works inspired project. I hope it turns out!

Hi! I somehow landed on the Halloween party at eighteen25 today, and when I saw the picture of your BOO jars, I just had to pop in and tell you how much I love them!
