Because I love a good Christmas DIY project…
I went thrifting on Black Friday and ended up at one of the best spots in LA, BTS Thrift. Real talk – their prices are definitely on the higher side, BUT they were having a huge Black Friday sale (50% off the entire store!). Plus, I also love that all proceeds from BTS Thrift go towards supporting people in recovery from drug addiction.
Anywho, I ended up finding the above little vintage cookie jar for $8 ($4 at the sale price) and immediately knew that I wanted to give it a paint makeover and make it Christmas themed.
Here’s how YOU can make one…
Vintage candy jar houses:
If you can’t find one at your local thrift, I found a few great options on eBay…
- This one is an exact match!
- Similar here, here, and here
- If you want to go bigger (my candy jar is pretty small), I love these: here, here, here, and here
Supplies:
- Acrylic paint paint brushes
- Gold metallic acrylic paint
- White acrylic paint
- Apple red acrylic paint
- Cardinal red acrylic paint
- Green acrylic paint
- Black acrylic paint
- Mod Podge
Directions:
- Thoroughly clean the candy jar with soap and warm water
- Apply paint wherever you like
- Once paint is dry, apply one to two layers of Mod Podge so create a glossy finish
- Fill with candy, cookies, etc. and enjoy
What do you guys think? Will you make one?
