Here are the parts you need:
2 unfinished wood finials
2 unfinished wood circles
2 unfinished wood candle sticks
(I got each for 50% off at the Hobby Lobby)
and 2 glass canisters - I paid 2 bucks a piece for them at Home Goods.
I spray painted all of the parts - including the canister lids with a satin nickel finish paint.
This is my first time using Gorilla Glue Epoxy and I am in love with it! Just follow the directions on the package and glue the parts together. I let each glued section dry for about an hour before adding another section.
Here they are finished!
Now I just need to decide what to put in them. Any suggestions?

And to Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Nite Special party!
And to Made It Monday @ Persimmon Perch!

So cute! My suggestion - just give them to me!!!
these are cute - am on a search for nice apothecary jars, myself, at the mo. Maybe this is the inspiration to try making them myself. Cool!
Wow, love these. Now I'm on the search to make some for myself.
Those turned out great!!
They look so pretty! I love the silver paint.
Those came out so cute!! I've been wanting to make these but have no idea where to even put them so I've been holding off. Check out this link for some ideas on what to put in it. http://ourliebertfamily.blogspot.com/2010/01/made-with-love-quilled-paper-hearts.html
Thanks so much for linking!! :)
They turned out great. I've had these on my list of "to-do's". What room are you wanting to put them in. I'm hosting a Power of Paint Party starting late tonight & every Wednesdays... I'd love it if you'd link up these apothecary jars.
OHH. . these are so great! This may have to be one of my next projects. . . as if I didn't already have a bazillion to finish.
wow this such a great idea!! i absolutely love them!
Very nice! Great job and yes, I share your love of apothecary jars.
beautiful work, lovely but also that you use the tools!
you are a creative genius, congratulations you have a beautiful 2010 Chany
Stephie, Great Job! Nope, no suggestions! They are lovely as is! I like the paint color, and the jars you used. I love how you put your touch on them. You got the idea from Shanty but they've got your style! Super cute! I gotta make some of my own now.

Oh nice job! I love the color! I think anything you put in there would be cute. I'm coming over from the Power of Paint party ~Lisa
Great job!
I saw that post at Shanty 2 Chic and have wanted to try it, but too afraid! :)
I need to make that hour drive to Hob Lob, I guess! LOL
~Amy
Really Nice! I love them!
PEAR-fectly French Picnic!!
Hey there, I'm stopping over with the Power Of Paint Party.
Those look so great. I never thought of that!
These are great! Love the jars with lids and thankfully, I have Michaels here. I love seeing these in different colors ~ white, black and now yours in the satin nickel.
These are great. I love the color.
Thanks for linkin' up for my 1st Power of Paint Party!
That's my problem never knowing what to put in them! Yours came out great, I love the crystal and metallic silver.
Oh, I love these - with the lids, they are just perfect! My first thought (especially with the lids) was bath salts... something that I couldnt put in my jars because they dont have... you guessed it, LIDS! (Can you tell I'm really jealous of the lids?!)
I love these! Fantastic job!!!
I love these!!!! SO inventive! Way to go!

This is a great transfromation, a perfect marriage of materials, Lezlee
WOW! I want to feature these in an upcoming tutorial feature. I will let you know when it posts!
OOOOO! I like the shape of these too!
Great job - love them!!!!
fabulous idea- yours turned out lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute idea!! I think they'd be cute in a bathroom with cotton balls and Q-Tips.
Those look great! I love them - so wish we had a Hobby Lobby around us - my nearest one is an hour and a half - in either direction!
I need to make a list and (maybe) make a trip soon!
Thanks for the great inspiration.
OH - Marty at A Stroll Thru Life had a cloche/apothecary party about a month ago - google apothocary jars and she is right up there or here is the link to her blog -
http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/
scroll through a couple of months back. She did a Linky thing - there were some really cool ideas all around!
Good Luck!
Yet another incredibly beautiful and creative project!!!
Ohhhh love them!!! I must try. I just did some cake stands but I must steal this too! Thanks.
These jars turned out great! I have added these to my DIY project list. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow, those look great. You could put them in the bathroom with cotton balls or put seashells in them. I can think of tons of uses.
Beautiful! Now I want to make some!
I am featuring these on Tuesday! Thanks again!
