salsa jars

 Good morning peeps! No post yesterday, as I had misplaced my camera... and yes, as a matter of fact I was freaking out :/ Matthew found it in the garage(?!?) out of all places, so now I can show you this simple little project. See those jars up above? I think they are very cute :)

 Look what they are - they're salsa jars! I think they have a lovely little shape to them and even some nice detail. Plus, they're just the right size to hold a little bouquet of flowers to bring to someone - or enjoy yourself! On your nightstand, by your kitchen sink... wherever!

 First I turned them upside down to spray a few light coats on the bottom of the jars. And once again, please excuse the muddiest part of my yard where all my projects seem to end up as I work on them :/

 Next I turn them right side up and spray with several coats of paint. Several light coats are always better than a few heavy coats, because you don't want drips of paint running down your jars! Sigh... is it wrong to love the smell of spray paint? (please do not answer that)

 All done - and look how adorable they turned out! You can dress them up or keep them casual. I used this little felted heart cuz I thought it looked like a cute necklace, but a big lovely bow would be fabulous!

So simple and so cute! Now you can save some of your favorite jars - there are actually a lot of nicely shaped jars out there! And you can spray them beforehand, so they're all ready for flowers from your garden and a big bow! A great way to make someone's day :)
