Craft Room Make Over!!

Update..

So many things have been keeping me busy of late and I have been so slack with blog posts.  I thought I would share one of the things that have been keeping me busy of late.. We decided to make an official Craft Room/ Project Studio at our place, which has been a long process but it is nearly there..

I am at the decoration stage of the room and wanted to share a few things that I have been able to do this week..

I have been recycling pasta sauce jars into craft storage jars. I will be doing a fair few of these for my wall unit which I will share once I have finished.. 

Yesterday I also made a start on making some storage for my twine stash. Using the same design as the button ones, as it will be going on the same wall unit. With these jars I hammered a hole into the lid for easy access to the twine. Really wanting everything to match in the new craft room as I am hoping it will help me keep organised heheh If you are on Instagram make sure you come follow me as I will be sharing a lot more photos of my handmade craft love. User name is @daneve_ahtissue

Today I was able to put this up in my craft room/studio not sure if I am finished but think it looks great.. :) this photo doesn't really capture the true colours but think you can see what colour theme I have gone with in the room.

I will be sharing how I did this in another post.. What do you think?

Kind Regards

D.I.Y - Recycled Jar Candle Holders

Next time you use a jar and decide to throw it out, think about what you can make before you do so. 

You will be amazed what you can recycle and reuse.

To make these jar candle holders it really doesn't matter what size the jar is. I have used these pasta sauce jars, as we always have them in our pantry.

Step 1. Soak them in hot soapy water for 15min to be able to clean and take the label off.

Step 2. Wrap one with string, one with some tape and sticky dots. With the other jar, use a hot glue gun and write "Love" or anything else you feel like on the jar.

Step 3. Spray paint them white using a High Gloss quick drying paint. (Colour is up to you)

Once dry you can remove string, dots, tape and glue.

You can also add some wire to them to make them into hanging candle holders.

Step 4. It's up to you, but I made them a bit more pretty by added some string & washi tape to them.

Step 5. Add candles (I used tea candles) to make the prettiness glow.

These make a perfect addition to any room and as a perfect give to someone special.

I hope you enjoyed my first quick tutorial for this blog, I am sure they will get better as time goes on.
