Christmas Apothecary Jars

First,  I am a terrible Craft Blogger as I forgot to take pictures till well into the project.  Oh well it is a pretty basic craft to follow.  Let me know if you need any specifics or guidance. One key element is deciding how many Jars you want and then what seasonal word to use.  I actually went with ” JOY” for Christmas and “BOO” for Halloween. Keeping the colour to one that worked well with both seasons. 

• 3 jars
• 3 candle sticks of varying heights, wood works best
• 3-6 round plaques
• 3 finals
• paint
• ribbon
• candy to fill jars
• glue gun 
• glue sticks

Steps to Follow for Apothecary Jars

1.  paint candlesticks, finals and round plaques all silver to match the lids on the jars.
2. Glue plaques to the candlestick to create a wider base for the jar
3. glue round plaque, and final to the lid to give a more interesting look
4. Paint the letters silver and added some silver ribbon,
5. add Bow for the top and my jars were done,

 now what was I going to do with them…. Well saw another blog post this week about a hot chocolate bar and thought that would be perfect so I shall try that.  I also removed the candlestick holders and tried the jars on their own

If you had fun with this Christmas craft I have a few more to share. Recently I created a beautiful Felt Garland that you can use on your tree or mantle.  My Christmas Tree Sign was a favourite last year as were the Candy Cane Holders. Or maybe you might like to try the Mini Clay Pot Nutcrackers.
