I'm excited to show you another quick project using a spaghetti jar. Whenever I empty a glass jar it's hard for me to just toss it in the recycling bin.
I had a few birch bark sheets leftover from a previous project that I used to wrap the jar with.
I used my glue gun to attach the sheet to the jar.

Then I found a couple images online for inspiration.
simple, yet sweet.
Now it's your turn...
reuse an empty spaghetti jar and turn it into a cute flower vase!
how cute is that!!!! I have been using a lot of cans for vases.. (like apple pie filling cans etc) ~ It is such a great way to recycle!!!

ReplyDeleteI love this Brandi, I've been looking for birch bark for a Christmas project, where did you find it? I haven't seen it in my local craft stores. You and your hubby's intitals on the vase is such a sweet touch.

ReplyDeleteThis is my first time visiting your blog and at first when I started reading, I was thinking. What in the WORLD? But as I read on, I must admit you are very creative and I am jealous. I read over several of your other posts too! I am glad you stopped by my blog, so now I have you on my blog radar. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Where did you get the birch bark from? I actually have something similar pinned on Pinterest but your idea seems much simpler and looks just as good!
ReplyDeleteJenn :)

ReplyDeleteI love to re-use jars and bottle. Like you said, even I cannot think of throwing them away. I have been using a lot of bottles and jars in the house, of late. Will share the pics on my blog, soon. Yours is very pretty. the engraving on it is so cute. I share the initials with your partner- 'T.A.' :)
ReplyDeleteSaw your link on 'At The Picket Fence'. I am hosting my first Link-up party - Tea Time Thursdays. Would be glad to see some of your awesome posts there. Hope to see ya at the party :)

Super cute! I save almost all my sauce jars for some project or another - I'll have to try something like this!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I am always trying to figure out what to make with my jars!

Great idea! I love the added charm of the initials you added:)

Como é romântico!!! Ficou muito original! beijinhos Brandi, você realmente é bem criativa.

Now that is too cute!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely too darling, Brandi! Thanks for the deco idea . . . it brings back memories of actually carving a love heart/sentiment on a tree!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job! Don't you just love reusing glass jars!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good Brandi. I am a big supporter of reusing glass jars and I used them to make lights. Im giving you the link, as its an old post.

Wonderful idea. I have a stack of jars I am saving and this is so cute. Thanks for sharing at Hows To's Day!
ReplyDeleteBrandi: I just found birch bark sheets existed--yet WHERE do you get them? I had to google to find what a birch tree looked like. What I have are Oak trees in my yard? I would like to try them out--on jars and terra cotta pots!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm always hesitant to get rid of glass jars too, because they're perfect for re-purposing. (On a related note, I recently discovered that 18.6oz soup cans are the perfect size for 3-inch pillar candles too. I'd love to wrap one in birch bark paper for a cheap & easy fall candle holder!)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet tribute to your relationship. Can imagine pulling out this vase each time you get flowers on your anniversary.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea! What a great way to re-use and recycle--and how wonderful to add the tribute to your relationship with your spouse. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI so LOVE this! where do you find birch bark sheets??
