Here is another spring craft idea that I saw on Pinterest. We always have glass jars in our house and I try to keep many of them for crafts. When I saw them being made into candy jars I thought that would be a great idea. My boys love to have candy in the house, and with Easter right around the corner, I knew that this would be my next project.
I used 2 different size jars (olives and strawberry jelly) and 2 candle holders I purchased at Garden Ridge for $6 ($3 each). Next time I will use 2 very different sized jars so the size difference is a little more obvious. Since orange is my favorite color, I decided to paint them orange.
I took the candle holders outside to paint them. I really should have primed them first since the candle holders were a dark grey color.
I placed the candle holders on an old can and an old bottle in order to paint the bottoms and to keep them from sticking to the paper.
I ended up using the entire can of spray paint because the original color was so dark. Lesson learned, next time I will definitely prime.
Once the paint was completely dry, I super-glued the mason jar to the candle holder. Then I filled them with Easter jelly beans.
These are great jars. I think I will make some for every season.
