Today I had exactly one hour to make this project, take photos and post. I mentioned I had the materials ready and it was just a matter of finding time….
So, here they are. Such an easy way to add a
little whimsy to an empty wall or garden gate.
I had bought these plaques at the ‘Dollar Store’
(which cost $2.00 each)
I removed the chain and the eye hooks…
…painted it and then added a pipe clamp.
I also added a hanging hook to the back
Placed two of my many,
many jars; added a little light…
The hardest part of the project was trying to place the tea light inside the jar, as my BBQ lighter ran out of fluid and I couldn’t get the tea light to sit straight….but you get the idea.
So here is the run down…
plaque = $2.00 each
pipe clamps = $0.98 each
jars = free
total cost of project = under $6.00 for both
total time for project = 30 minutes (incl. drying time)
Yay for cheap and easy!
I will be going away to our family cottage this weekend, hoping to spend some technology free time hardly gonna happen and while I’m gone, I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
Can’t wait to come back and see what you’ve been up to.
much love,
Lucy

Lucy- What a clever girl you are! Those are just darling and I kind of like that the candles aren’t burning perfectly straight..of course it would make a wax mess if left to burn, I suppose..but it is cute all the same! Love the seashells in them- xo Diana

These look so cute! I bet they would be great in the kitchen too for cooking 😀
So pretty. I featured this on my blog tonight.
Good Job! Really pretty!!!
Very cute, I love the color blending of the light blue! The best part is that you can change the theme of what you want to place in the jars. Where can I find the pipe clamps?
any hardware store or auto parts store will have the pipe clamps.
What a great idea! Beautiful!!
The wall you placed these on with all the frames is amazing! Thanks for the very clear instructions.
Your crafts are beautiful! Never cheesy, only classy!
What do you use to attach the clamp to the wood?
