upcycled centerpiece


WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THESE JARS AND CANS I HAVE BEEN HANGING ON TO?
Here's what I did with the glass jars at least!
I thoroughly cleaned the jars and removed the labels-
 I highly recommend goo-gone to remove the labels with ease- love this stuff! 
I painted them with several coats of regular old white acrylic paint-
 I know chalk paint is all the rage- but I didn't have any at the time!  



When the jars were completely dry-
( I waited a full 24 hours) I just roughed these up with some fine sandpaper



 This was the most fun part-
 going through my stash and finding what I wanted to embellish with!
I am beyond thrilled with the way they turned out!




I have been wanting a simple centerpiece for my dining room for a while 
& these jars are going to add just the right touch

 vintage linen +
 

 pretty mirrored tray+


  the jars!



 Can you even stand the level of adorable happening here?
 I just love it when it all comes together



and the best part? money spent= $0- everything was stuff I already had!

Next up-

what to do with all those cans?

Have a thrifty day everyone!
