sunday DIY: the cute.

i saw this DIY last week (i wish i could credit it) and knew i had to make some myself.  i had all the materials on hand except for the mini animal figures so i knew the cost would be minimal.  there's one thing montpelier does not lack and that's places that sell tiny plastic animals... even the hardware store sells them so this morning z and i took a walk and picked out our favorites.  i wanted all woodland creatures in varying sizes and heights and wound up with these:


the things you'll need are simple: mason jars (or pickle jars or jam jars or anything you want!), your choice of silly creatures, glue gun, and metallic gold spray paint (krylon gold is my very favorite).


then spray them with at least 2 coats, although i did 3.


glue those tiny feet onto the lid once they are all dry and you are donezo!



 fill them up with whatever you want but i'm thinking of filling them with tons of buttons.  yeah!
