On the coffee table

DIY Day @ ASPTL



This is my coffee table display. It was cheap, easy, and I used what I had. This is the first year I have had this coffee table. I finally convinced my Mom that it would work better in my house that in hers. So we did a sewap this summer.  I have plans to spruce her up a bit, but not the time to work on it. It was a good will find, a Lane piece for 6.00!

For the base I cut strips of Jute webbing. No worries about  them all being the same size, it won't matter. Then I wove them in and out and tacked them down with fabric glue.  I wanted to do more strips but I ran out of webbing so it is what it is. The basket was a Target clearance find. I went to my basement canning storage and grabbed jars in various sizes. Some are new and some are antiques. I just wanted the variety. I have every size from 1/2 pint, to 1/2 gallon.

Each jar is filled with epsom salt and a votive candle.
 I then scattered fresh greens and leftover ornaments to fill up the basket
 A picture of my favorite canning jars. Mason with a star embelem!

And here is is all aglow.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a Merry Christmas!
