I love decorating with stuff that can be used for multiple seasons and holidays. I love that instead of sitting in the attic for 11 months out of the year, that I can change some of my decor up and use it year round. So when I started working on new decorations for Halloween/fall I knew I could figure out a way to makes something that would work for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and maybe even Easter.
I started with some clear glass bottles that I have been saving for three years. I knew at some point I would find a good use for them:)
I used my Cricut and cut out some vinyl letters.
I used some transfer paper to attach the letters to the clear glass bottles.
I lined the bottles up to make sure that the letters were even...the "d" is a little high, but not enough to worry about.
I spray painted the lids white so they would match almost any holiday decor.
Then I filled the bottles up with CANDY CORN...
...and lined them up on my kitchen counter.
This was a SUPER inexpensive project...all I really bought was the candy corn. Now when fall is over and Christmas decorations start going up, all I will have to do is empty out the candy corn and add in some red, green, and white M & M's!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteadorable! glad to see I am not the only one who saves bottles and boxes:-)
ReplyDeleteI just want a fraction of your creativity. Is that too much to ask???
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen anything cuter! I love candy corn..so I would have to use shorter jars (so you wouldn't notice that I was sneaking a few) :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your talent and creativity. I love that you'll be able to use these for more than just one occasion!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love that it can be used year round. I have been having fun with candy corn this week too. Come by and visit and link up with me tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, you are always inspiring! But tell me....is it just decoration or do you get to eat it too while it is out? Because I think the people in my house would be eating it:)
ReplyDeleteThose would be empty at my house in a day :)
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOOO cute!!! love
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! I'm trying to do more with decorations that can be changed out too. It makes me so sad to pack everything away for months at a time.
ReplyDeleteHow creative and CUTE! :) Thanks for sharing this. I don't have a Cricut but I'm sure I can work around that.
ReplyDeleteCool idea!!! Although, I think they would be empty in no time! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea! Of course we would eat every piece within a few days. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I know that my boys would have them empty within a week! Love that you can just change them out, though!
ReplyDeleteAs a candy corn lover, I can say that I really like your project!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love how simple it is too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletereally, really cute Kelli!

So cute! I really need a machine to do stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteYou are so so crafty...I LOVE it! That is super cute! I love bottles, and those are such a fun shape! the candy corn would not last long around here...we have a jar, and it I've already filled it twice! :) Fun idea...and it looks so pretty on the counter!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! I LOVE your ideas! {you should write a book!} :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, what brand Cricut machine do you have and do you like it, I am thinking about asking for one for Christmas.
(what kind of bottles are those?)
so cute-great idea-thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable idea! I have zero willpower when it comes to candy so this would never work for me unless I was constantly filling it up! I commend you if you can leave this out and not eat it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I love that there are multiple bottles so they make a statement! And genius to use a generic word at that so you don't have to change it with each holiday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. I like that you spelled "candy", nuthin' like tellin' it like it is. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!! And I love candy corn! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the kind of thing that I love. Easy-peasy, inexpensive, and unique. Now if I only had that Cricut!!! I've been dropping hints since LAST chrismtas.... surely my hubby with get the drift eventually. Right?.......
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? So darn cute. I love the clean look of it and the kids will LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! What an easy, cheap, chic project :) I love it!
