Since discovering this recipe I haven’t bought a jar of spaghetti sauce.  Until now. 

I saw these beauties in the grocery store I picked them up not for what was inside, but for what I could do with them after they were empty. 

We recently did a make-over to our back deck and I knew that the coffee table needed a little somethin’. 

I had a tray that was supposed to hold photos, so I removed the photos and sanded her down a bit to give an aged look.  I added some personalization, thanks to my husband’s cousin and her Cricut.  Um, yea.  Totally. Want. One. 

 I could have gotten away with using generic old glue for the letters, but I didn’t have any on hand. 
So I used my new best friend – Mod Podge. 

I soaked the spaghetti jars in warm soapy water so that the labels would peel off.  I gave one of the jars a coat of my other best friend – Valspar Glass Etch.

 I took a few scoops of sand right out of my daughter’s sandbox and planted a candle in it. 
The flowers? Directly from my backyard. 
The hubs is responsible for those. 
Me?
The only thing I am good at planting is a candle into a jar of sand. 

I bought just two jars of spaghetti sauce for this project.  Everything else I already had.  And here’s the finished project, in all of her $6 glory.

 

I’m linking up with these parties.
