DIY {hairpin vase}

04.28.2010

UPDATE: Contest is now over, Emily’s is the last counting comment.

Contest Winner is: Carly Shoemaker – “Those pins are just wonderful, and so is the vase. I am always saving jars! On a spring evening I like to sit by the fire pit in our yard with my husband.”

Okay, here is the easiest craft ever….just in time for Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Weeks!

Supplies: Glass jar, cute hair pin (get mine here), hot glue, Goo Be Gone

I think an old mason jar…the kind with the blue/green tint…would be awesome for this.

Step 1: Remove any labels or sticky stuff on the jar

Step 2: Hot glue hair pin to the jar…use scissors to hold pin open while glue dries. Hot glue will easily peel off the jar and hair pin at a later date.

(Try to find a jar that is similar in curve to your hair pin)

Ta da….a cute little vase to customize a billion ways.

For instance: Stick a leaf in the pin. Let the pin hold a small photograph.

Create a little gift tag and give it to your mom or your child’s teacher.

For business owners, slip a business card in.

You could do a ton of different things with this very basic idea. My hair pins are from a reader’s etsy store, Stella Bella Boutique.

Stella Bella Boutique is going to help you start your project…or you could just enjoy the hair pins the normal way – in your hair!

Giveaway Details:

Prize is a $25.00 credit to Stella Bella Boutique

One winner, chosen at random

Contest ends Friday, April 30th 8:30pm

To enter: In the comment section tell me something you enjoy on spring evenings!

Rosie - I love opening the windows and cuddling up with a quilt on the couch – the evening breeze is lovely in the spring, and just cool enough to be super-comfy under the blanket!

Julie - Yay! I can’t wait to do this craft. Just got some old jars from my mom and I wasn’t sure what to do with them…I know now! My favorite things to do are sit on the trampoline while the kids jump around me (I’m 7 months preg so no jumping for me, yet)and watering plants with my daughter as she uses the same watering can that I used as a little girl with my grandma.

Courtney - I love spring rain.

Alisa - Taking a walk with the hubby & the 2 kiddos.

Kirsten - I love that it stays lighter later in the Spring. I love having friends over to linger after dinner while the kids play in the backyard.

Sarah - I love being able to be active after work in the Spring. We like to go hit golf balls or run on Riverside…ah bliss

Melissa - Being able to work in the garden while it’s still light outside!

Andrea - Such a DARLING idea!! I love sitting on the porch swing with my hubby listening to the night sounds. We also like to take family walks down to the river. Hubby skips stones on the surface and our 3 girls try to follow suit

Ruthy T. - I’ve been doing this for Spring ’10 evenings after work and dinner. I’ve been taking my 2 yr old to the pet shop so that she can touch the bunnies and puppies. Yes I will drive 15 minutes out-of-our-way just to see total happiness in her face. (Well we live in a City)

Robin - I enjoy sitting on a chaise lounge on the front porch after a long day at the office, watching the hubby finish up lawn work and the puppy rambunctiously exploring the outdoors <3

Mandy - I just love sitting out on our deck and enjoying it all

Andrea - such a DARLING idea!!! I like to sit on the porch swing with my hubby, listening to the nights sounds. We also like to take walks down to the river as a family. Hubby skips stones on the surface and our three little blessings try to follow suit

Niki - Watching cows eat green, green grass.

Jeannette Swan - Just being outside with the kids before it gets too hot – I’m not a good outside person when it is hot! I enjoy watering the flowers too.

Christina S - I love sitting out on the back porch – watching the kids chase fireflies

anne c - eating dinner on the front porch with my husband while watching all of the kids on our street play and run through our yard!

Stella Bella’s jewelry is to die for!

Anna Marie - Hmmm…I’d say either planting flowers and landscaping or just plain ol’ relaxin’. Cute idea btw!

MGF - The smell of steak on the grill

danielle - i love this craft…so easy and clever! I can’t wait for the spring nights when it gets a little warmer, kids are in bed and my husband and I can enjoy a nice cocktail on our deck!! so relaxing!!

annie - This IS a darling idea. Let’s see – after the kids are in bed, my husband and I once and a while get a chance to get on our woobies (sweaters) and sit on the deck with a glass of wine – sometimes we talk, sometimes we don’t, but smelling the flowering trees, the breeze and watching the sun go down just makes for a peaceful night.
