Mason Jar Candle Votives!

I was flipping throught the Pottery Barn Catalogue the other day and fell in love with these outdoor votives below...SIGH!  And with summer coming, these votives would be P-E-R-F-E-C-T on our deck and sceened in porch areas.

So when I found these lil' green cuties below for just $1.99 each at Old Time Pottery, I knew I could easily revamp these guys to look more like the PB originals!

First things first, these white lids were NOT workin'.  So I removed the lids and decided to spray the white hangers with some leftover Oil Rubbed Bronze spraypaint.

Once the painted hangers were dry, I added sand and simple votive candles and DONE.  Yup, it was that easy!

This one is hangin' from our outdoor garden rack on our screened porch! I can't wait to light these babies at night...so fun!

This green color is perfect for our screened porch and deck which have black wrought iron and dark brown wicker furniture, as well as rust and orange colored cushions.  Don't you just love the perfect "pop" of color?

So there you have it, Pottery Barn inspired jar candle votives!  Scoop these up from your local discount store...add sand, candles and a little paint and you've got Pottery Barn style...for a whole lot less!
