Pinterest Challenge- Letter Bottles

As I mentioned in my last challenge post, I do not do enough crafty things. In fact, I do nothing crafty. Art has never been my forte. My mom bought me the Old Navy shirt that says "less is more" (as seen in Friday's outfit here) just so I would keep that in mind if I ever ventured into the creative world. And I guess I did. I found the idea on Pinterest, and the title of the article on Buzzfeed is 31 Insanely Easy and Clever DIY Projects, so I figured that it was worth a shot. Aaaaand I messed up the first one. TIP: Do the letters slowly. You can see every mark when you paint it over.


1. You can use any jar or bottle or container you want.
2. Using a hot glue gun, *CAREFULLY* write a word on the bottle.
3. Let the glue fully dry before proceeding to the next step.


1. I used a sponge brush and white acrylic paint for my jars.
2. Completely paint the jar, including in between the letters.
3. Let the jar dry overnight before adding a second coat. When doing a second coat, I did not paint in between the letters, I simply brushed over them.


The final products were amazing. I am currently using the two taller jars to store beauty products.












 

 You can use any words you would like for the jars. On the jars pictured two above, I put some inspirational words on so I have a daily reminder. On the jars pictured directly above,  I put two values that mean something to me.
 
I am proud of myself for completing this project. In total, it took an hour to do all four jars. And they look amazing on display in my room. If you're looking for some easy decorations, I strongly suggest this project.
 
Have you ever tried something like this from Pinterest?

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an i...

Copycat the Cool Way #2

I admit that I am a little late with this post. Things have been insane school-wise so I haven’t been keeping up to date with all my posts. Or anything for that matter. Plus, I got a new phone and I had to figure out how to get all the pictures from my old phone on to my laptop. Ugh. The following blurb is an imitation of my brain: duibqieufbijenwcijaaiojcfpo wijojndwqioNQIOENFONIONICQNINQ/ what? Descriptive right? Bear with me, I’m pre-writing a couple posts while I’m focused on blogging. I got you covered. Monday- Probably my favourite pants ever. They’re super comfy, but it can be tough to style them. I took the inspiration from a picture from a magazine (I think it might have been Glamour). It was also a spring day in Canada (did not last long), so I wanted to keep it cool temperature-wise. I have a blue cardigan that I typically wear instead of the scarf. Also, rainboots. Buy rainboots. They are the best for the icky, slushy, melty weather that is just around the corn...
