DIY: Glitter Mason Jar

How to make a glitter mason jar.

Easy, fun, and very inexpensive!

Before you start, you will need . . .

Supplies: Loose Glitter, Mason Jars (both from the dollar store), Paint Brush, Paper Bowl, Craft Glue, Painters Tape (not pictured), and newspaper

Step 1:

Tape your mason jar just above the area you want the glitter for a clean, fresh edge.

Step 2:

Use your paintbrush to paint the area of the mason jar where you want the glitter to sparkle.

Step 3: After the area is covered with glue, Sprinkle the glitter! I used a paper bowl to catch the stragglers and keep the mess minimum.

Step 4: Let glitter dry in the paper bowl for at least one hour (I waited longer just to be safe).

Step 5: Remove painters tape slowly, and..

 Job Finished!

(Note: I did not put glue or glitter on the bottom of the jar.)

 I love it! 

I've wanted to do this DIY project for so long, and I'm so happy I did. It was very easy and inexpensive. Nearly every supply item can be found at the dollar store.

I think it makes a perfect home for my glitter pens!

Side Braid on a Hot Day

Wedges (Tory Burch), Blouse (Nordstrom Rack), Shorts (Old), Bag (Balenciaga)

I begged Matt to take some snapshots of my outfit before dinner Thursday evening. He was a good sport, considering it was about 102 degrees outside. It was terrible!! I enjoy hot weather, but this was too hot. We had a lovely dinner, wine, and great conversation with some friends :) It was the perfect way to celebrate the upcoming weekend! This past Friday and Saturday were jam-packed with parties and the Jimmy Buffett concert. However, today is a lazy Sunday, and I absolutely love it. I need to rest up for this long week ahead!

I hope you had a fun weekend, too!

Traverse City Getaway

 

 Ruffled Blouse (F21, similar here), Floral Shorts (Nordstrom Rack, cute & inexpensive pair here), Sequined Tank (Express), Wedges (Tory Burch, I love this pair, here), Clutch (Louis Vuitton), Necklace (Antique), Bracelets (Juicy Couture, Kenneth Cole, Old).

Here are some goofy pictures Matt took of me before going out to dinner last weekend. We stayed at a beautiful bed & breakfast in Traverse City for a little weekend getaway. The house was amazing! I wish I took more pictures, though. It had such gorgeous Victorian decor and details :)

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos - The lighting was not sufficient, to say the least!

I love these floral shorts. I found them last year at Nordstrom Rack for around $11. They're so comfortable and still look dressy. I loved my outfit this night, even though I was told I jumped out of 1982. Hey, the 80's are back, people!!!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week <3
