Eclectic chic colored blocks with vintage jars

This Sunday we plan on vending at the flea market again. Unfortunately, I don't have as much stuff as I'd like, so I've been searching around the house looking for projects I can do with recycled materials.

I decided to make some candle holders and flower vases from a fence post and the vintage jars I found in the BOTTLE DUMP at the side of my yard.

I cut the post to the sizes I wanted with a chop saw. Next, I painted each block and distressed it. Here is what they looked like after.


I tied twine to the neck of each jar. Each one was glued to a block with Gorilla glue. Lastly, I added candles and flowers.






Be sure to check out my GIVEAWAY from Pinecone Vintage.

    I love this idea!! Wouldn't it look great in a baby's room? Maybe without lighting the candles.

    It looks really nice when you have all lit up. Do the candles smell good too?
