Giveaway- Crafting With Mason Jars and other Glass Containers: Over 35 simple and beautiful upcycling projects

Leave a comment in today’s post by May 12th, 2016 and you are in the running for this pretty book filled with great ideas and tutorials on how to transform jars into all sorts of great things.

Open to U. S. residents only please.

“Upcycle your glass jars and other vessels into useful and lovely objects. Follow Hester van Overbeek’s easy steps to make a fresh flower-decorated tea-light votive for a garden party, store all your grains and pasta in large jars with vibrantly painted lids, or why not surprise a friend with the colorful “birthday in a jar”? There are lots of quick ideas that take no time at all, such as vacation memories in a jar, the table-setting jars, or the floral centerpiece that will charm all your guests. Some are elegant, some are homespun, but all make use of natural materials such as wood, shells, flowers, and leather–to give an original but sophisticated feel to your home and garden. Once you are confident in making the simpler crafts, there are more intricate projects to try, using basic DIY techniques: make a fabulous drink dispenser, a desk lamp, or a rustic vase display by attaching jars to a weathered piece of wood. All the projects have clear step-by-step instructions and hand-drawn illustrations to guide you, so all you need to do is pick the project you want to make first!”
