I love the itty bitty size of baby food jars. I keep a ridiculous stash of them because I make my dogs treats with baby food and wheat germ (Click HERE<\/a><\/span> for the recipe). So I decided to make some Easter or spring home decor tea light holders some of them today.<\/p>\n

<\/a>For these upcycled tea light holders, I saturated gorgeous 3″ wide Venice lace in Mod Podge and\u00a0formed it around the base of each jar. These had to be left overnight but by the next morning, they were stiff and perfectly adhered. For the neck of each jar I used E6000 (for permanence) and hot glue (for quick adhesion) to glue on some satin ribbon with a chiffon box pleat ruffle. \u00a0To add a little more sparkle, I also added a small pearlescent pearl trim at the base of each neck over the ribbon.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then for the cute and cuddly critters, I used the Lawn Fawn “Hello Baby” stamp set and colored up a natural set of bunnies and duckies with the following Copic colors. Bunnies: E30, 31, 35; Duckies: Y11, 13, 15 and YR12 and YR65; R20 (for blush). \u00a0I also colored up a “white” set of critters with the following Copic colors: W0, 1, 3 with YR 12 (for duck feet) and R30 (for blush). \u00a0Then I used the coordinating dies to die cut all the critters.<\/p>\n

For the “ground” on which all the critters could stand and walk, I hot glued on each jar\u00a0a bunch of mulberry paper roses and small tulip filler flowers in pinks, yellows and greens for the natural colored set of critters and whites for the white critters. Then to create a balanced look\u00a0on the jars with the pink flowers, I tied 6 triple loop bows and adhered 3 spaced out around\u00a0the neck of the 2 jars.<\/p>\n
