My daughter, Steph, and I tackled a little project the other evening.
This is a great way to reuse baby food or other small jars and scrap wood.
We followed this great tutorial, so I'm not going to go into a ton of detail here.
If you want to make your own and have questions, follow the link.
We laid out all our supplies on the dining room table and gave the baby snacks and toys.
This was Steph's first time handling a drill.
Measuring to make sure we had the clamps centered and evenly spaced was a bit tedious.
The little clamps are ready for jars!
Although it can be hung, I opted to prop my new votive holder / bud vase against the wall.
Isn't the little kitty teapot so cute? She's a recent antiquing treasure.
Doesn't it cast some pretty shadows?
I think at some point I will hang it on the back porch, but for now...
...I like it in the kitchen where I can see it most of the day.
My new wall decor is making me smile.
Thank you for stopping by today!!
Very cute. I love baby food jar projects. However, this particular one that inspired you wasn't created by me. It was done by another blogger who was guest posting on COM. None the less you did a fantastic job, well done. Enjoy it. Jen-COM

ReplyDeleteIt does feel fancy! :-) Thanks for visiting.
DeleteWhat a great project! I love the little kitty teapot too. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! I appreciate you stopping by.
DeleteOoh, I love anything with candles! It's lovely. I'm about to re-enter the baby food stage, so maybe I'll have to save up some jars!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on re-entering the baby food stage! Exciting! Thank you for visiting.
DeleteThat is so, so cute! That kitty teapot is exactly like mine except mine has kind of reddish flowers and in a different pattern. I've had mine for almost twenty years -- would you believe that?
ReplyDeleteHi, Carol. Thanks for coming over. Always nice to meet another cat enthusiast!
DeleteSo cute! What a great way to re-purpose jars. This turned out really well!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, I'm really pleased with it. The best thing was doing the project with my daughter. :-)
DeleteThis is soooo cool! I love how you have your baby busy in the background... isn't that the truth?! If they're happy, we can be happy. Haha Anyway, this project is so neat that I've featured you in this weekend's Party Junk on Friday. Stay tuned! :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks so much for featuring our little project! So true - we gotta keep the little guys happy, don't we? I'll see you over at your place on Friday. Thanks again!
