DIY: Wrapped Mason Jars

This project was super simple and only cost 33 cents per jar, well, depending on if you have jars laying around. I may be a little bit of a craft hoarder, so every jar of spaghetti gets rinsed out, cleaned and stored for projects like this. I wanted to go beyond just pretty flowers in jars, so I decided to wrap them with embroidery thread, although it would be equally as cute with twine or yarn.

I started by dusting off the jars, then taping an end to the jar started wrapping lightly so I could manipulate the way the thread looked. I chose to do one that looked a bit more ombre and a looser wrapped one. Add flowers and you are set. So simple and it took less than a dollar and 30 minutes.

Upcycled: Woven Hamper

I have had my eye on this basket from West Elm for months and couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger if I had a perfectly fine hamper at home. Mind you, I don’t know where this hamper came from, was it a hand me down from a family friend? Left over from an old roommate? I have no idea. Not too long ago, the adorable Miss Rachel Denbow posted a really cute hamper upcycle on A Beautiful Mess. So, I decided I could do one too! It was super simple and made a huge impact.

I white washed mine by diluting white paint with some water and gave it two coats. Then I used 1 inch tape and created the pattern above. I diluted some yellow paint and painted over the tape, then removed it. Easy as that! :)

DIY Inspiration: Clothing Rack

I once lived in an apartment that had a huge walk in closet. And by huge, I mean slightly larger than the average apartment closet. Since then, my closets have gotten smaller and smaller and my wardrobe larger. I now share a 2×2 ft. closet and a dresser so full the drawers don’t shut with my husband. It’s time for a new solution.
