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!)

Description

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!)

Instructions

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.
