Dollar Store "Faux"-pothecary

UPDATE: I finally found it! Here is the link up to where I found this idea.

 I've been seeing a lot of these apothecary jars in BlogLand and I haven't been able to find any at the thrift stores. But then I saw this idea of taking candle sticks and glass jars from the dollar tree and gluing them together. I was on that idea in a matter of hours.

I Really hate to take an idea and not give credit to the blog I found it on, but I was SO sure that I found the blog from the "dollar store crafts Facebook page" and now I can't find it for the life of me!

Headbands and Hairbands and Clips, OH MY!

Ive been crafting a lot lately because this girl I know is going to have a little craft boutique at her house. Ive been trying to "stock up" on my stuff so I have some cool things to sell.

Mini Tins

These Tins have been in the wedding section of the Dollar Tree. I Bought them a little while ago but didn't really know what to do with them. Then I had an idea. They are so cute and make great little gifts. You can put candy in them or jewelry in them to gift wrap it.

Lace Ring

As I was thrift shopping I saw this cute little lace doily that was a little stained. I got it for just $1. I thought it would be perfect for this lace ring that "Stepping thru Crazy" made on her blog.



Keep Reading to see how it turned out!
