Crafty Mare...

So I have definitely been cheating on Blogger with Pintrest....

Pintrest has depressingly been quite a big part of my life for the last year and has really inspired me in all areas of life! If you want to check my boards out, click here.

One of my latest obsessions is up-cycling candle jars, or Mason Jars as they are quite often called.

Here's my before and after shot...



So, the trick is

Step 1 - Once the candle is down to it's last legs (very sad day) - pop the jar in the freezer with the lid off for overnight

Step 2 - Carefully pop the remaining wax from the candle. Now you have frozen the wax, it should come out in large chunks

Step 3 - Give it a good wash and take off any labels. I put mine in the dishwasher

Step 4 - Your clean jar is now a blank canvas of all kinds of cute ideas! As you can see - I spray-painted mine brass!

Awesome idea for the home or presents! I'm making one for my baking bits now and I am very intrigued by these little cuties. #bewareofthesuperglue
