I have a very quick surprise post today to make up for yesterday's absence (sorry about that!).

Lately I've been loving Pinterest for some DIY festive decor, so it only seemed logical to start a project using two of my favorite things: jars and candles. I decorated three different jars in three different ways, but all following the same rustic-nature theme. I really like them because they look home made and they create fun shadows.


The first one I made might be my favorite because of the way the light pours out of the jar. It was really easy to accomplish, all I did was glue some greenery to the jar and popped a candle inside.


The second jar was the easiest to make. I just wrapped some twine around it with no real aim or direction, crossing and switching directions every so often, but I think it came out nice. It looks really rustic, which is exactly what I was going for, but if you like a neater look all of these DIY can be personalized.


The last one is the most fun, because it's colorful and it lets you be creative. All I did was fill up a jar with some water and greenery and put in a candle. I played around with the colors and textures, adding bright greens and reds and subtle yellows and browns, to create dimension and, again, a more rustic and natural feel.
