DIY Candy Jar

I have seen many apothecary-type candy jars that are super cute.  I wanted one for work BUT I didn't need 3 like the tutorials I have seen.  I also wanted the jar to be big enough that you could put your hand in it to get the candy out.

So I browsed the Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby and here is what I found:

Vase: $1 @ Dollar Tree

Base -- 2 (1 for base & 1 for lid): $1 each

Smaller Base (for lid): $0.50

Wooden Candlestick (for base): $2.99

Wooden Knob: $0.25 (left over from Leash Hanger project)

Ribbon: $0.50 per roll

Paint: Had at the house

Project Total: $8.75

I used my Cricut to cut out "Happy Halloween" and free hand cut out the 'shadow' portion.  I used silver paint thinking I will be able to use this candy jar throughout the year by changing the ribbons and phrase. =)  I am going to eventually make one (or two) for the house =)
