Oh you crafty huh? Part two!

Standard

I had a lovely time hanging out with one of my dear friends Tyler today. One of our favorite things to do when we hang out is indulge in a bottle of wine and get nice and crafty! Here’s the results and the how to’s of our fall inspired creation today!

All that’s needed for this craft is:

  • mason jar
  • acorns
  • rope
  • candle holder
  • candle

Here are the steps for making this cute little craft, even though it’s pretty self explanatory!

  • Acquire acorns! Go to your nearest hiking trail or even your backyard and turn into a human squirrel and collect as many acorns as needed to semi fill your mason jar.
  • Place the candle holder with candle into said mason jar. Tyler and I purchased a taller candle holder and a tea light candle, and the acorns fit very nicely around them.
  • Fill your jar with as little or as many acorns as you’d like. I’d recommend filling it a little more than halfway so you get a nice effect from the candle light peeking out of all the nooks and crannies of the acorns piled on each other.
  • Tie the rope around the top of the jar for the final touch.
  • Light your candle, dim the lights, and enjoy your new fall themed candle jar!

And there you have it! Simple as that. A ten minute craft gave Tyler and myself a fun new autumn decoration! If you guys have any quick and easy fall crafts, let me know! Have a great night! -Sarah

My friends and I LOVE crafting!!! Canvas art projects have been our favorite thing to do while we hang out. There’s so many cute ideas on Pinterest, that I wanna make them all! (GOTTA CATCH EM ALL – POKEMON!) Seriously who knew that you could have a fabulous looking piece of art just by painting and glueing stuff down on a canvas?! I barely have half an artistic bone in my body, but these fun projects make me feel creative and artsy and I love it! My favorite craft though is definitely the melted crayon canvas. Particularly the one with the couple under the umbrella. So sweet. So fun. If you guys have any questions on how to make any of these, leave me a comment! And please comment some of your favorite canvas crafts so I can make them with my friends!!! Thanks! ❤ ❤
