French Apothecary Jars on the Cheap

For our Thrifty Thursday project this week, I am sharing my apothecary/sweets jars.  The main part of this project was gathering the jars.  Over a few months, as I have been doing my regular junking, I have picked up interesting jars and lids.  A

couple of them did not have cool pedestals stands, so I used my handy E6000 and added small candle holders.  Slowly but surely I had enough for my newest 'Frenchy' project.

All of these French Label graphics are ones I have found on Graphics Fairy and have used repeatedly for everything from printing on down pillows to signage on all kinds of furniture and tin ware. For this project, I simply I glued them on using Modpodge.


Other than the gathering of the glass elements, the project took less than a half hour and the total cost was under $10 for all of them.

Now that is my kind of thrifty!

  1. Cool! I think I would like to make some for Halloween...with spooky labels. I've been wondering what glue people use to make the cake pedestals. You mentioned E6000...is that the glue that's commonly used? =D
