Mason Jar Lid Pumpkin

Over the weekend, I was cleaning out my lid drawer and found that I had an abundant supply of Mason jar lids.  Over the summer, I replaced my drinking glasses with Mason jars.  I just got tired of my kids breaking and/or chipping my pretty ones.  This way, I know I can replace them with the same thing.  I can't tell you how many times I fell in love with a certain style and couldn't find it when it was time to replace a couple.  I even got a six pack of the pretty vintage blue ones from Target.  Now, a little rant -- I only have THREE left.  Why do they have to use the blue ones when there are twelve of the other???????

Now, back to the purpose of this post, I found a use for the many rings I had in my drawer.

My Mason jar ring Pumpkin.

I couldn't think of a better way to use my large supply of mason jar rings.  I am even making a few for Fall gifts.

My new sets of drinking glasses.  I love them -- I can also use them for so many other things.

Love my Dollar Store sunflowers too.

Just take your rings and string them on a piece of jute.

Bring the ends to together and tie it off.

Shoot it with some orange spray paint and add a stick from the yard as a stem.  I used a strip of festive material and there you have it.

Happy Fall.

Fall Decorating with The Dollar Store

I love fall, or at least the idea of fall.  I live in Mesa, Arizona and by now, I am ready for the heat to be over and the cool weather to start.  It is still reaching anywhere from 104 to 110.  I did hear this morning that it is going to get a little cooler after this weekend which will be nice.  The mornings will be somewhere between 60 and 70 and the evenings will cool down too.  I love to go outside and sit with a cup of coffee when my day with the daycare is over -- can hardly wait.  Anyway, my hubby is a little slow getting my holiday decorations down, so, I went to The Dollar Tree for a few things and was so excited to see these.

I love mason jars almost as much as I love chickens, so, I just had to get a few.  I also picked up a fall vine and glass candlesticks.

  

So yummy....  I got apple pie.

I glued three mason jar candles to glass candlesticks and tied a raffia bow on them.  I took the Fall vine and laid it down the center of my table on a burlap table runner, then, I just scattered the candles using the vine as a guide.

Very simple, but, I like the effect.

I also grabbed a couple packages of yellow candles and a small bunch of sunflowers.

I took my wire cutters and cut the flowers from the bush so I had individual flowers.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my bottles and holder that I got from Decor Steals.  It has so many possibilities that I just get so excited when it is time to change it out.

I put three candles in the jars on one side and three flowers in the other.

Easy Peasy and what a burst of color.

I hope this will tie me over until my hubby gets my Halloween decorations down from the attic.

Wishing you a sunflower kind of day.
