Mason Jar Masterpiece

My new name is now Martha Stewart. I have taught myself to make Pottery Barn knockoff mason jar candle holders! I love everything at Pottery Barn but hate paying the price. I drooled all over their summer catalog with their outdoor living and candle items. But with the fabulous world of blogging I can blog stalk how to make them myself, thank you very much.

All you need is glass jars of any kind, aluminum gauge wire, needle nose pliers, and wire cutters. The pliers you see above are from my very own set I got from the hubs for my birthday :)

And here is my end result as my new table centerpiece!

The clear jars are just salsa jars we've been saving and the blue mason jars we found for a couple bucks at some antique stores and flea markets down in the Ozarks over the 4th of July. Since these are in the kitchen I filled them with food related items- coffee beans and white rice.

Buy some cheap-o votives and voila! My new centerpiece I made all by myself :)
