With the holiday season upon us, check out this easy do-it-yourself project to bring some joy and color to your home. Outside of work, Sarah Stultz enjoys home decorating, gardening and creating projects. If she wasn’t in the journalism industry, she would be interested in pursuing interior design.
What you will need:
• Three Mason jars
• Twine
• Red, white and green spray paint
• Burlap
• Black paint marker or black paint
• Decorative greenery and berries
• Glue gun/glue sticks
• Scissors
-
-
In a well-ventilated area, spray-paint each jar with a different color. Paint at least two coats on each jar so that color covers both inside and outside of jar. Allow to dry.
-
-
Measure and cut out 3 strips of burlap that are 4 inches high and 14 inches long.
-
-
In center of each burlap piece, draw or use a stencil to write the letters of “joy” — one letter per piece.
-
-
Using a glue gun, glue a strip of burlap to the back of the jar so the letters are centered in the front of the jar.
-
-
Measure and cut 3 pieces of twine 34 inches long. Tie twine around the neck of the jar as desired.
-
-
Place decorative greenery and berries into the jars as desired.
