Recenlty I found a great idea at a local craft fair in town and if you know me at all you know that when I see a craft I have to try to figure it out myself! – The craft was a pickle jar candy dish! Since seeing that cute craft I have now made many of them and love how fun they are to make and how neat they look in the house! Recently I also made some for Christmas gifts for my loved ones!
First I took an empty pickle/pepper jar and washed it out and removed the label.
Second I painted a wooden candle stick white along with the lid of the pepper jar (I found the candle sticks at Michaels, they also had glas candle sticks that will work well)
After I painted the lid and candle stick I took E6000 glue and glued the jars onto the candle sticks.
After the glue has dried I filled the jar full of candy! It really was that easy!!
There is also a Pottery Barn coupon code for those looking for discounts on household items
So cool. Thanks for sharing this. Wouldn’t these be cute, if you used a really, really big pickle jar and a big stand of some sort, to give baby bibs in for a baby shower. I mean large enough, so the mommy could reach in a pick out a new baby bib for every day or more of the week.
how did you get rid of the pickle smell???
After washing them out it seemed to go away! I did leave some of them sit in soapy water over night to help with that! 🙂
Use bleach water and dish soap.
Looks like the Redneck wine glass… Filler-up.
This would be an awesome idea using a mason jar…for all of my southern family. They would get such a kick out of it!
I love this idea 🙂 I’m all about Recycle, but Re-purposing is even better
I think this is pretty cool– and I know my kids and I can make Micheal one for Fathers Day,thanks
