Repurposed Yogurt Jars

 

Hi friends,

I hope you are doing well!

This week I have been busy planning a party-

I have a small collection of these yogurt jars.

I decided to paint them with some white chalk paint.

Started on the bottom-

Then flipped over to paint to the upper edge.

This is delicious yogurt!

It's a bonus to save the containers.

I had these votives that I purchased from Dollar Tree.

They were .25 for a pack of 3.

I had the lavender oil on hand.

I removed the wicks from my votives.

The wicks were long enough to use in the jars.

Any unmounted stamp can be use to stamp on a round surface.

I wanted my jars to look like an old jam jar.

I stamped all the jars and then sealed them with matte spray sealer.

I saved a tall tin can from tomatoes- washed and dried the can,

smashed the top a bit to make a pour spout. 

Placed the can inside a small but deep sauce pan

 filled with 2'' of water.

Keep the flame low, be sure to

 keep the water away from the wax

I melted 3 votives for each jar candle.

When the wax melts, remove from heat with oven mitt.

Now scented oil can added.

Set hot can on a towel, dry the water from outside of can.

Now you can pour the wax into jar.

Try not to move the jars until completely set.

The color will lighten as it cools.

When the jars cooled, I added ribbon and a bit of lavender.

I made these for party favors.

I'm glad I could share this idea with you.

Have a great week!
