Last week, AC Moore had flat-faced Mason jars on sale for 99 cents each.  And they were just what I needed for this quick holiday project.
First, I painted the insides of the jars red.  Once that was dry, I used painter's tape to cut pieces for my trees.  I added those to the front of each jar.
Next, I gave the outsides a couple of coats of white spray paint. When they were dry, I peeled off my painter's tape to reveal little Christmas trees.  I sanded the tops a bit to let even more of the red paint show through.
I finished them up by using some of this festive fabric I picked up over the weekend.  Can't wait to add some candles and use them for the holidays!

Woo hoo!  Guess who got their internet back last night?  I'm so happy as I've missed the blogosphere and keeping up with all of your projects.  Here's some that I did while we were without power and climbing the walls:
I took two mason jars and spray painted one red and one green.  Once they were dry, I printed these sweet holiday images from the Graphics Fairy and Mod Podged them on.  Then I added a thin layer of Mod Podge over the images and sprinkled on some German glass glitter.
I finished each off with some white tea-stained seam binding.  I'm going to use these as candleholders during the holidays.
My boys destroyed our Scrabble game so I'm left with some random letters.  Lucky enough, I had the ones I needed to spell out "noel."  And they fit perfectly in this little Goodwill frame that I painted black months ago. 
I added a burlap backdrop.  Loving the rustic look!

Two super simple projects to keep my mind occupied post-hurricane.  It feels good to be back and I can't wait to pop on over to see all of your posts that I've missed.
