They're back and more festive than ever! Remember our Boo Apothecary Jars? Well, we promised to show you their transformation for Christmas and here they are!
The pictures just don't do them justice. We took the same three apothecary jars from before and added some red microcheck gingham ribbon, a little tulle, JOY letters, and some good old fashioned peppermint candy to create another adorable trio.

I hope that you are enjoying the preparations for the holidays and are doing a better job at staying sane than I have been. Things are good and crazy around here and I feel so behind! I keep picturing the manger scene where "all is calm and bright" and I try to take a deep breath and remember what a fantastic and miraculous gift we have already received. Thank you Jesus for always helping me to find a little peace when I need it the most... you never let me down!

These are so pretty! I created a similar display in my house using cloches. As for the Christmas tree...maybe we'll bother with that next year!
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance later today, I'd love for you to stop by to link up to my Not "Baaad" blog hop :)
Love your apothecary jars! I'm really need to invest in some! I am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteLove the jars. I had seen them when you had the BOO. I am for sure going to invest in some of these. They would look so good in my kitchen. I am going to try and feature them on my blog chmitlinfamily.blogspot.com, that is if I can figure how to do it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE them! Where did you find your apothecary jars with black tops and bottoms?
ReplyDeleteOh, I love them. I think they are the cutest apothecary jars I have seen. I want to make some. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get these adorable jars from? I love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the sweet compliments! We made the jars from a tutorial at Shanty 2 Chic that we linked to in our original post for these as our BOO! Apothecary Jars!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you purchase the jars
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. Found on Pinterest. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the apothecary jars at? Love this, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a handmade project. You can purchase the jars from Hobby Lobby. The rest of the material you can find at your local hardware or craft store.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for all your sweet comments! We recently posted these again with the "Boo" apothecary jars with an updated list of where to find the supplies! The jars are the 6 1/2 inch size from Hobby lobby!
ReplyDeleteThe paint keeps coming off the tops.....suggestions please!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments and questions! As far as the paint coming off, this did not happen to any of the sets we made....if you use spray paint on the metal lids, use a metal primer first and then do thin multiple coats of your color. If you are using acrylic paint,try doing multiple light coats as well!!
ReplyDeleteAny suggestion as to where I can find candlesticks? I am having a REALLY hard time finding some. The Hobby Lobby and Michaels that I went to didn't have any.
ReplyDeleteI had to get a group together to go this route, but I ordered from them last night for 16 of us to do the projects. I ordered 3 sizes of candlesticks and the finials.

Which Finials did you order, were they the same ones in the picture..
DeleteLove this!! I am in the process of making it right now and sooooo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteCute. Found on Pinterest and making it tonight. I found similar jars ar Kirklands. No painting--they are already black. Having a hard time finding the letters i like. The "o" at hobby Lobby looks like an "c". Any suggustions where I can get them.
ReplyDeleteHi! The wooden letters came from Hobby Lobby in the unfinished wood section. The "o" and "C" are very similar..perhaps someone put the "c" in the "o" spot? The "O" does have a very small opening at the top. We simply painted them black and tied them on with ribbon! hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does--thanks. I was hoping to find metal letters that were already painted so I could get the project done faster!! When I hung the letters, my husband said "what is jcy". I will just have to paint them. Super cute idea!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, and I love that you can use them all year round for different Holidays!

LOVE. I am doing a candy themed Christmas eve dinner and something like this would be so cute. So happy you shared.
ReplyDeleteI am always on the lookout for Apothecary jars so I can do something very similiar to this. I just love the look and love how you can change them up with the seasons. Fabulous job!!
ReplyDeleteThis could be done for all seasons and holidays. Love it! If my kids saw the candy, they'd be attacking those jars 24-7...lol...

DeleteIn the store I found them in the back with the art supplies, etc. Here is the link on the website Rusty: http://shop.hobbylobby.com/store/item.aspx?ItemId=191970
DeleteYour jars are the BEST I have seen anywhere! You are so creative! I read through the posts and did not see the size of the letters you used. Did I just miss it? Also, is it safe to assume you used the 4" circle under the jar and the 5" at the base? Have you posted your Valentine's Day jars yet?
ReplyDeleteSJ, Yes the circles are 4 inch and 5 inch. The jars are the medium sized cannisters{ I believe a little over 6 inches tall} and are online. We have a recent post on supplies and where you might be able to find them { they have become very difficult to round up! } and you can view it here...
