Ashamedly, I tried creating this blog months and months ago and I failed miserably! I have done so many projects that I would love to share but my lack of technology skills have prevented me from sharing. I am going to attempt to blog a project and see if it works! Wish me luck!!!
FALL is my favorite season! I say that lightheartedly because I am a lover of all seasons! This was a pinterest inspired project for my fall table. I coated mason jars with 2 coats of milk paint. You can find milk paint in a variety of craft stores and dime stores but I found mine at Sweet Pickins! www.sweetpickinsfurniture.com/shop-online/milk-paint They have a large variety of colors to choose from and I believe mine for this project was simply "Creamy". I let the first coat dry fully, and repeated for a second coat. After the second coat was dry, I sanded spots to give it the worn look in the places I liked. I cut the burlap banner out to the size to fit the jar. For these jars, it was approximately 3.25 inches wide. I liked the tattered look so I pulled some threads out of each edge to fray it a bit. I adhered the banner simply with roll on double sided adhesive and had no problems with it sticking. Hot glue or other adhesives would likely work well too. I cut my letters out on my Silhouette cutting machine but premade letters or hand cut letters would be just as cute. I adhered my letters with the same adhesive and then proceeded to decorate each burlap banner with stick on pearls, small burlap flowers and whatever you choose. I tied twine around them and added a pearl as a finishing touch. I used dried wedding flowers in my jars as my fall flowers were not yet unpacked when I made these but I think fall leaves or flowers would be stunning for these! All in all a simple but beautiful project! Have fun!
