A Hello Spring Decor piece made with Proxxon Tools and Plaid Paints!

Yes, in case you've noticed, I've become a mason jar decor lover. My last post involved scones and this one involves the jars in a box. Either one or actually both of them will certainly make your home ready for Spring!

The Supplies Needed For this Project Are:

Proxxon Band Saw

Proxxon Delta Sander

Wood (I re-purposed some)

Plaid Chalk Paints

Plaid Glitterific Paint

Paint Brushes

3 Mason Jars

3 Egg Gourds

3 Skewers

Assorted Small flowers

Raffia

Nails

Hammer

Pastel tissue paper

Kapro 

I used my Proxxon Band Saw

and started by cutting five pieces of wood out. Dimensions: Front and Back Panels 12" X 4", Two end pieces 4 3/4" X 4", and one Bottom piece 3 1/4" wide X 10 1/2" long. All of the wood was 3/4" thick.

I nailed the pieces together.

And formed a box. 

Once that was completed, I used my Delta Sander to sand off any rough edges and painted the box with Plaid Chalk Paint .

While the paint was drying on the box, I painted the jars on the inside with Martha Stewart Chalk Paint which is made by Plaid .I also painted the gourd eggs with the same Plaid paint. I then painted the gourd eggs with the NEW Plaid Glitterific Paint . I'm telling you this stuff is fantastic! Easy to put on, when the layer is dry just add another layer if you want your glitter to be thicker. You don't have to worry about a glitter mess because the glitter is encased in a clear acrylic. Just wonderful stuff.

I also used my Cricut and cut out the wording that I put on the front of the box, tied raffia around the neck of each bottle, placed pastel tissue paper inside each jar and arranged the eggs and flowers inside the jars. Once all was arranged, this is what my Spring box looked like.

You should be able to display this arrangement for quite awhile. At least until the first day of Summer? The way old man Winter keeps showing up in places around the country this could be true.
