Candy Jar

I first saw these cute DIY candy jars HERE and thought to myself, Hey that's cheap and easy, I could totally do that! So I did!


For mine I picked up a glass candlestick at the dollar store (as well as a bag of Easter chocolates!) and this pretty jar at DI (also $1).


First I spray painted the candlestick and the lid of the glass jar bright squashy yellow (not the real name of the paint color) that I had left over from THIS project. Then I used hot glue to glue the jar to the top of the candlestick. (most people use E6000 but I didn't have any)




As you might be able to tell, I have a slight obsession with bright pink right now so when my yellow jar asked for some spicen' up I new just what sweet love she needed!


Then I gave her a nice, comfy home on the mantel. (Subway art from LollyJane Boutique)
