I was able to thrift these Amber Glass Jars for $.50 each so I knew I wanted to upcycle them into something unique!
I wanted to make a carrier to hold them in so I used some items that I already had at my home.
I used a piece of fencing that I already had, and I laid out the amber glass jars to figure out how long I needed the jar holder to be.
Using a pencil, I marked how long and wide I wanted the base of the fencing piece to be.
I decided to put a branch on either side of the holder so I laid them out next to the jars to see how wide we needed to make the base of the holder.
Using a pencil, I mark the length and width that I want the jar holder to be.
Using my miter saw, I cut the fencing to the correct size.
I also used my miter saw to cut (2) pieces to fit the width of the base and about 2 inches high so that I could attach them to the sides.
I laid everything down in its position before I begin nailing to ensure that everything fit.
DIY TIP: Always measure twice, so you only have to cut once! :)
Using a Brad Nailer, I nailed one of the 2 inch wood pieces into the side of the base of the holder.
Then I flipped the holder over and nailed in the other piece to the other side.
Next, I measured the branches next to the holder.
Using my pencil, I marked where I needed to cut so that I could go to my miter saw and cut my branches to size.
Then, I placed a branch into its spot on the holder.
Using my Brad Nailer, I nailed the wood piece into the branch. Then I flipped the holder around and nailed it in the other side.
I repeated this process on the other side so that both branches were attached to the holder.
REMINDER: Watch your fingers when doing this!
White creates a striking visual contrast with the Amber Glass, which is why I opted for Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in the shade Cotton.
I used my STAALMEESTER Point Sash Brush to paint the entire holder.
Once I finished painting the holder, I used sandpaper to lightly distress the entire piece.
I love how simple and beautiful this Amber Glass Jar Holder looks.
The white paint provides a stunning backdrop that accentuates the autumn glow of the amber glass.
Feel free to personalize your glass jars with fall embellishments that resonate with your style. In my case, I filled the jars with fragments of dried floral sourced from Ikea, adding a touch of my own creative flair.
