Fake an Apothecary jar of sorts.

I happened upon this awesome candlestick for $1.99. So cool. Then saw this glass thingy, candle holder, candy holder, whatev. It's super heavy. And it was a buck. Perfect match. I don't know what to call it. Apothecary jar? Hurricane? Bowl on a stick?
 

Gather the necessities:



Attach glass to candle holder:



Done and Done. I love when things come together perfectly. If I didn't already have a peanut butter cup holder this would be perfect...Maybe, maybe, maybe I need more peanut butter cups.

    I LOVE it! You motivated me to head to the local Salvation Army...I looked, and looked for something to glue, spray paint...something!
    I didn't find anything cheap, or great, but I found a GREAT floral center piece for my dining room table-it was awesome! Looked custom, the right colors, the pot was unique-all this for five dollars! Loved it!
    ...Then they lady at the register told me that "5" was really part of "NFS"-meaning not for sale-it was a decoration for the Salvation Army....
    So I went home empty handed- :(

    Great idea and it looks like the perfect little votive holder! Or jellybeans, who doesn't need a jellybean holder?

    Ruby - that stinks! You'll have to try again!

    Kat - we love jellybeans in our house. They don't last long enough to even fill a jar!

    This turned out really cute! Peanut butter cups would not last long in my house...I would be the culprit eating them all.
