So today I bring you my Spring Season Scape Jar! So I bought
a heart shaped glass container and took my pink mesh wrap and blue mesh wrap
that I had left over from when I made my bouquet holder for my wedding in July 2017 and
since each strand has four rows I measured it to around the jar and cut it a
little longer so I had more to play with. Then I took each of the mesh wrap
pieces and cut it down to two row of strands each and you’ll see what I mean in
the pictures. So carefully I hot glued the pink strands to the top outside of the heart
jar, I think I started at the top of the heart in the crevice so that its
hidden where it meets the other end of the mesh so it looks fluid. So right
below the pink mesh I hot glued the blue mesh ribbon the same way as the pink.
So next I took some pink sand and spread it on the bottom of
the jar up to a good level, I kind of eye balled it to how I felt so it really
depends on depth of jar and how you feel about how much or little sand is in
there. Once the pink sand settled and I was happy with it I took my bluish
purple sand and put that over the top of the pink until almost at the top and
so each level of pink and bluish purple were about even and were opposite to
the placement of the mesh ribbon as the mesh were pink then blue and the sand
was flipped to blue then pink and I thought that looked way better than had
they been pink mesh blue mesh pink sand blue sand, if that makes since, lol.
I then took two purple and two pink roses and placed two purple
and one pink on one side of the jar and the other pink on the other side of the
jar. I then took a few strands of this white beady looking foliage I believe was supposed to be baby's breath and arranged
that in the center of the jar with it mingling amongst the roses. I then took a
purple and pink dragon fly and since they have wire at the bottom of them it
was easy to twist it through the white foliage as if resting after flight.
So even though I say it every time Spring too has endless possibilities
as well for decorating a season scape jar but this was a really fun one but
took a bit of thought for me. Have fun!
