repurposed baby food jars

i have been feeling pretty crafty here as of late which means i have about a half dozen crafts sitting around my house all half finished. i hope to have most of them finished by this weekend since we have family coming, and the house should be somewhat picked up.

have i ever told you that i love candles. i am a bubble bath and candles to relax kind of person. i hate buying candles because they seem so expensive. with a coupon i got 4 lbs of wax (which is a lot of wax) for about $10. i hope to go thrifting to find some other glassware to make candles but i started with what i had...baby food jars. i spray painted the tops with some leftover chalkboard paint we had. you could write a little message if you were giving these away or note the scent. they are certainly not made from the best quality wax, but i think they turned out pretty good.

  1. I've always wanted to make candles. I was on pintrest today and found some cute candles they made in vintage tea cups. Not sure if this link will work but try it:
