apothecary jars

 i love these jars and find them filled with all kinds of things throughout stores and magazines.  i figured i could make them for cheaper than i could buy them.  well, it is true.  however, i am still working on trying to figure out how to make a cute lid.  feel free to share any ideas.  i went to the dollar store and purchased two glass candle stick holders and two different size vases.  i hot glued the vase onto the candle stick holder and viola!
BEFORE:

 AFTER:
 this is how i use them to decorate for halloween:  candy corn and plastic spiders with a cute orange and black ribbon.
p.s. if you have small children that like candy corn, move this out of reach...trust me, i speak from experience :)
