I decided to change up our guest bathroom a bit and wanted to spray paint a few jars for the new decor.
I started out with this jar
Then I looked in the fridge and found a couple more jars..
I spray painted them Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze (2-3 coats)
Hot glued some twine around the mouth of the jar and I was done!
The two smaller jars have become tea light holders for my new beach themed bathroom (more on that later)
The large jar is going to be my new flower vase
You all know how I love quick and easy projects, and this is definitely one of them!
I’m excited about redecorating our guest bathroom. The next few weeks I have finals, but hopefully I can continue working on it and have time to show you the progress as it comes together. Thanks for stopping by!































I've been wanting to try this! They turned out so pretty…love the touch of the twine.
How cute! I are in the middle of buying our first home and the color scheme of this house -although I love- does not match our furniture.
I love finding easy and CHEAP projects like this one to help me decorate.
I already see one in my kitchen, and both bathrooms lol.
I'm saving this one!
I meant to say I AM, not I ARE! lol
I decided to feature it on my celebrations and holidays blog.

Splendid!
Love the color choice. I really adore recycled glass and I saw some at Joann's with that sort of twine wrapped around the neck. Such a wonderful touch!
Like minds think alike lol I just did the same thing with the exact same color. I haven't posted it yet though. Love the color.
These are so pretty! I have a stupid question…did you paint them on the inside or the outside?
I simply adore this idea… why didn't I think of something like this?!
I'm following you from the Girl Creative Linking Party.

What a great idea…I think I need some of these in the colors I'm using to redo my scrapbook studio space…hmmmm, a bunch of jars, all different colors to corral my supplies. And the twine, yeah, another twine lover, I'm always using it in my projects! I found you over at Today's Creative, just signed up to follow, stop by when you get a chance http://juliechats.blogspot.com

I'd love for you to link this up to my link party, Your Whims Wednesday! http://mygirlishwhims.blogspot.com/2011/05/your-whims-wednesday-5-and-features.html
Hey there!! I am here from the Wednesday Blog Hop and a newbie on your GFC page!
Super cute jars!! I love the twine. It definitely makes them pop.
Thank you for linking to Sew Woodsy! Great transformation–I would have never known these were DIYed I would have thought they were bought like this!
A great idea very cute:)I am following you now from the Welcome Wednesday blog hop:) Hope you will check out my blog too and follow along:)
Brilliant! They look terrific. I always feel bad throwing away or recycling empty glass jars from mayo or gravy or whatever else we eat that comes in glass jars. I can just never think of crafts to use them for. Spray painting them is such a great idea. And the twine to cover up the top is really smart. A cute ribbon would look good too. Thanks for the idea. These look terrific!
Those are really lovely. Is there anything spray paint can't do?
Awesome blog! Love the décor. I'm your newest follower
luv if you follow back!

I'm totally doing this!
Thanks so much for considering.
I just started a linky party this past Tuesday. It was a great success with over 50 link ups! I would love it if you would participate next week! It's called $10 Tuesdays and it's for things that cost less than $10 and take 20-30 mins (ish) to complete. I love inexpensive and quick projects and I'm guessing others will too

This looks so quick and easy to do. I can even think of several festive jars we have been saving to paint. What type of paint did you use? Or does it matter?
Stopping by from Welcome Wednesday. Definitely going to follow and see what you come up with next.
Howdy! I'm Meagan from http://sunshineandsippycups.com, and I found you on the Welcome Wednesday Blog Hop.
I looove this project! I'm a big jar junkie {Don't ask me why. I just have such a hard time throwing them away. I have a big stash of interesting ones in the garage waiting for inspiration…} And now I have some new inspiration!
I love any type of craft that is fun and simple, especially things that are made from things you might normally throw away.
Thanks for sharing
I'd love to try this! Great job!
