Let's Recycle! DIY Jelly Jar Style.

This is a quick little "blog" DIY post I made for a job application cover letter (I know weird, right? Gotta do what ya gotta do to get that J. O. B.).  It actually turned out pretty cute, so I thought I'd share it for reals!

____________________________________


1. JAR


2. Soak JAR in warm water for 1/2 hour and scrub of the adhesive


3. While your JAR is soaking grab some super strong glue (industrial strength or glue gun) and bedazzle the top.  I had a bunch of shiny beads and buttons lying around, so I used those.  But you can use anything.  Buttons, coins, yarn.  Whatever matches your style, dude!


4.  SHABAM! Cool JAR topper.


5.  Fill up the jar with something you use often.  I chose doggie treats.  This jar makes dog treats look fancy.
(Optional: add a bow.  I used some HEMP craft string.)

VOILA!  Your old jelly jar is now a fabulous addition to your counter-top/cupboard.

My pup sure loves it!

It's going down.

'Hello young lovers wherever you are..'

Life... Il est occupé. What with establishing careers and adding a new addition to the home we forgot to update all our friends on how we are keeping our cool. Here's how we've kept it Light in this crazy-sauce town:

We rescued!  Lila Louie was found as a stray - mistreated and disheveled.  Now...she's the Queen of NYC (and truly part of our family). 

We take advice from accredited sources. Thanks dollar bill.

We light paint! Talk about living light.... This is fantastic to do with friends. ::cue laughter and fun times::


We vacationed in Martha's Vinyard.  Although we love the city, there's no better way to unwind from hustle and bustle than vacationing with your best friend.


We redecorated.  That bare white wall is now a wonderland of paper hot air balloons.  DIY project coming your way.




THIS.

Look forward to new posts with awesome projects and fun ideas! In the meantime, paint your nails with sparkle polish.  It will give you something to smile about every time you see your hand. (That goes for the men as well.)

Live Light,
Grace and Corinne
