Bargain Makeover

Today I'd like to show you a little makeover I did on some cute mason jar candle holders that I found at Dollar General.

Before...

Not bad but I thought they could be way cuter with a little 

Close To My Heart makeover.

I covered the center strip with some

Jubilee Paper and Burlap Ribbon.

Then I cut out a Kraft tag decorated with Jubilee paper 

and a stamped sentiment from this set,

Made From Scratch

Doesn't this set just say summer? 

The gingham buttons were from my stash, I just couldn't resist since they matched perfectly.

I made these for some friends but I think I will have to go back and get some to alter for my front porch.

That is my favorite place to be this time of year, sitting on the bungalow front porch sipping a cold refreshing drink.   

AAAAhhhhh summer!
