Simple & Cozy

Jars of cute, right? I'll have plenty of that for you through out this blog. Here a quick, easy and in the end - simple, cozy, home-y decor, :)


You'll need to haaaave,
Your average Mason Jar, Twine,
Anything floral. Simple enough, right? :) I particularly love my flowers white.
Jared flowers can go with almost any style in a household, traditional, retro, rustic.. you get the idea, right? ;)
And if you're wanting the flowers to coordinate with the colors you've chosen, you want to match the floral color to your secondary choice of color in your decor. If you have more than two colors, chose the third to most common color. In doing so, they'll be more easily to catch sight of, capturing the attention of your lovely household guests!
When twining your jar, make sure to keep it as tightly as you possibly can.
After cutting your desired length of twine, find the center.
Hold the center of the string with one finger on the back of your jar, with one half of the twine - wrap it around, going upwards. Then take the other half of the string and wrap downwards. Have the two ends meet in the back. Tie in a neat bow. DON'T cut any extra twine, let it all hang for that extra homemade look.
Put as many flowers in it as appeals to you, :)



Spare coin bank. 
I dump the contents of my purse out about every two weeks, and behold there is, on average, a ton of change at the bottom that rolls out. Mason jars make a great piggy bank for loose coins!


Hope you enjoyed! :)
