  • This is a 48-star American flag that I inherited from my grandfather. P.S. I know it's not folded properly :)
  • The shelf is sandwiched in place between a coupler and elbow fitting.
  • The shelf attaches to the wall with two floor flanges.
  • 1/2" black pipe is relatively inexpensive, and the big box store will cut and thread it for custom lengths.

  • The solar light was almost the same size as the jar ring
***UPDATE Don't hot glue gems to the outside, they may fall off :(
  • This is after glued flat sided gems around the jar ring and around the little edge on the bottom of the clear part of the light. This little part was where the cylinder and spike were to put the light into the ground.

Another Solar Light In A Jar

A big thank you to Melissa @ Keep Calm and Decorate for inspiring me to make solar lights in jar. This is my twist on your ...»
idea, THANKS again for your inspiration

I found solar lights at Walmart that were pretty much the same size as the top of a canning jar. I bought a box of a dozen clear generic canning jars at Walmart. And I bought bags of flat florist gems at the dollar store.

I removed the cylinder with the ground spike from the solar light and put a thin line of clear silicone caulk around the outside of the jar ring then put the light on top. After the caulk dried attach flat florist gems around the jar ring and around the little edge at the bottom of the clear shade of the solar light. Then I threw in about 50 florist gems inside the jar for stability outside along my wall. I wanted to use red gems but they didn't have any. Next trip to the Dollar Store :)

  • Simple make over with Krylon's Mirror Glass spray paint. 3-5 coats of paint make for a lovely vintage feel.
  • Bright succulents stand out against the mirrored surfaces of the jars.
  • Fast, simple, and a repurpose for something you might buy weekly!

Spaghetti Jars for the win!

Classico brand jars are rather adorable when you take the labels off! And they come in various sizes: pesto, pizza, alfredo, and marinara sizes.

  • The fountain is basically two pots stacked together with a pump.  We used a combination of large and small rocks to hold everything in place.
  • We bought the pots at Lowes, but if you already have pots that would work, you could probably make this for less than $25... 1
  • We love to sit on our porch and listen to the water.  During the summer, we have  several different types of birds that visit and it is so cute to watch them "bathe" in the fountain.

Reclaimed Stenciled Rustic X Console

I've been dying to build this console ever since Ana White posted the plans. I used all reclaimed wood for this piece, it's composed entirely of stud-grade 2x4's and 2x6's. Even though ...»
reclaimed wood is tough to work with (warped & splits easily) it was totally worth it! I sanded, stained (1 coat of Minwax's Golden Oak) then stenciled the top with grey paint in a paisley pattern. I topped it with wax and cannot be more pleased!
