So... Apothecary Jars are everywhere. I didn't have any, but I thought it would be a cute decoation to have in my house. I saw some cheaper jars at Ross's, but they were still $11-14 dollars for 1 jar. Then, as I was perusing the Pinterest, I came across this tutorial: Mason Jar Candy Jars; and I ran with it.
I decided to use Dollar Store Vases instead of my Mason jars....
I spray painted all the wood parts black-kept it super simple.
I bought table legs from Home Depot {found here}, and cut off the top & glued them to round circles of wood I found at Hobby Lobby.
I took the bottom of the legs & screwed them into plaques I found at Joanns. I then glued the vases to the base using Gorilla Glue.
And because Valentine Day is coming up, I tied pretty red ribbon around the tops.
And there you have it, a nice pretty new decoation for my house.
Price Breakdown:
- 3 Dollar Store Vases =$3
- 3 Table Legs = $9.60
- Bottom Wood Plaques = $2.40
- Top Wood Pieces = $0.90
- Black Spray Paint = $1
- Total = $16.90 or $5.63 for each jar
Lots better than paying $10-14 for one in the store.
Thanks for stopping by!
These are really neat - thanks for sharing how you made them!

I have been wanting to make apothecary jars for awhile. This is a great tutorial, and I love the look on the bottom base and the legs! You have me excited to make these again! Thanks .
ReplyDeleteJenae, these are adorable!! They turned out so well, and I love how reasonably priced the whole project was. You're being featured tomorrow at Shine on Fridays on One Artsy Mama!
