Candlestick Jar Tutorial

Hello Wood Connection readers! I am Jen from Sweeten Your Day, a blog about my fun parties, tips and ideas! I am so excited to be here today to share with you one of my fun creations! Today I am will show you this super inexpensive and EASY tutorial to create your own candlestick apothecary jars that I made for my Easter "Hangin with my Peeps" party that you can find on my blog here.
 

Materials:

Candlesticks (various sizes) – The Wood Connection
Wooden knobs – The Wood Connection
Glass containers – Hobby Lobby
Wooden plaques – Hobby Lobby
Gorilla glue – any craft store
Paint and brushes – The Wood ConnectionI was able to get most of the supplies on sale and the total cost was under $15!
Step One: Gorilla Glue your candlesticks to wood plaques, and wood knobs to lids.I wanted to add a little more texture to the lids, so as I was browsing Hobby Lobby and found these little wood painted Earth’s and figured they would work since I was just going to paint over them.
Step Two: PAINT! Mine took a couple coats since it was a lighter color.


Step Three: When your paint is dry, pipe a ring of Gorilla glue around the top of your candlesticks and center base of jars onto them. Hold firmly into place for a few minutes while the glue sets.


Step Four: Once glue has fully dried, screw on lids to enjoy the finished product!
I just love them!
Step Five: Fill jars...
I filled mine with jelly beans, M&M's, and Robin Eggs for Easter.

You can fill your jars with pretty much anything your heart desires! Fancy them up with bows too. They are great for entertaining or home decor! You can paint them any color to match your kitchen or home and leave them up all year. Fill them at each holiday with special treats : Valentines Day – conversation hearts, Halloween – candy corn, and so on. Also the Wood Connection has been so sweet and is giving away a $25 gift certificate over on Sweeten Your Day blog! SO hurry on over to enter! I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and please feel free to comment or share!
