So I was pursing Pinterest the other day (who am I kidding, everyday) and found this tutorial on making old glass bottles or jars into cute Halloween decorations!
So I was all stoked to do this went to the dollar store and picked out my vases and then headed over to the craft store to pick up the paint. Then I just kept thinking about how pretty my brand new vases were, and how I would have to store them somewhere, and how I was about to pay for three cans of spray paint and not use that much of it, and then I just kept thinking and thinking and thinking about how I don't really need candy corn bottles.
I just LOVE candy corn - a lot.
So I started thinking - in a more linear fashion this time - and thought if I could use scrapbook paper I could change the paper out every season.
So with my vases, a few sheets of colored paper and my paper shredder - this is what I came up with!
Fellow scrapbooker popping in to say hi! That's such a cute idea. Now I can have my candy corn without eating the whole bag!

ReplyDeleteI love autumn colours and oranges and browns go so nicely with Halloween too. We are getting more into the habit if celebrating Halloween in the UK now. Great fun.
ReplyDeleteI love scrapbooking, I haven't done it in a while, but I did a lot of that when I was in high school. I love doing stuff like that and making collages. I like this project (of course I prefer the real candy, but...). Yeah you can do Christmas, St. Patty's Day, Valentines Day, 4th of July will be really cool. Cute blog!
