I made this after a recent trip to my cousin's wedding on the beach.
I made this after a recent trip to my cousin's wedding on the beach.
Gather Supplies (and memories). I brought all sorts of things back from this trip. (Use what you want, save the other stuff for something else if you so desire.)
Start with one clean jar.
(OPTIONAL) Paint or decorate lid, if desired. (I used a bit of pain to cover the printing with sand and a couple of shells glued on top.)
Base level of jar. (In this case sand I brought back from the beach.)
Arrange peices inside. (In this case it was shells, a small chunk of coral, a votive, bubbles, and confetti from the wedding/reception.)
Adorn outside. (Don't over do it! You still want to see the stuff inside.) I used hot glue to attached a row of ribbon from a wedding program, a few purple flower stick ons (trust me on glue use hot glue, don't rely just on their sticky back), and a couple pieces of the flowered confetti. Then used a clear glitter glue to add a few accents.
When dry, attach lid. Display.
