Mason Jar Candy Corn!

This week's PapertreyInk Make it Monday video was a tutorial about sprucing up your Mason Jars.  I don't have the kind of Mason Jar that Melisa shows in her video - but I do have a ton of other kinds so I got to work ......




I decided that I would make my Mason Jar into a LARGE candy corn - I don't even like the candies but I really wish I did - they look so pretty!



I basically followed the video when painting the jars....making sure to add a bit of a vintage look by sanding the paint when dry, to show the jar label.



I used the stamp set Fall Elegance to create my tag.  I die cut the Bookmark Die and then cut it a  wee bit shorter, rounding the corners with my Corner chomper.



To emboss the gold dots on the Mason Jar, I used an older set, Shapes by Design.

  9. When I saw this video, I had thought of doing a candy corn jar, too, but changed my plan to something more understated that could work with my decor for a longer period of time. I do love how your jars turned out. They're very festive.
