Spring captured in a homemade apothecary jar

For under $10, I made a cute apothecary jar with a nest and eggs, with an accompanying blue bird!

The tag reads "A Gift of Spring."

I had a blue parakeet, so anything with cute little blue birds is special to me (and my favorite color is shiny light blue - just like the eggs!)

1

Use E-6000 to glue a dollar store candlestick ($1) to the bottom of a canning jar.
2

Use E-6000 to glue a glass drawer pull (from Home Depot or the like) to the lid of the canning jar.
3

Paint wooden eggs to desired color. Let dry, and set in a nest (made from scratch or purchased in a craft store). Set next and eggs in bottom of jar.
4

Tie a ribbon around the drawer pull and add a cute tag. All done for around $10!
5

Paint a dollar store bird to match the eggs.
