Candy Jar Pedestals

In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday today, I wanted to share how to make these fun, colorful candy jar pedestals that are perfect for any party or holiday.

The part that I love most about them is that they’re both decorative and functional!  Use them as a centerpiece for a party table, to add some color to a holiday mantel or shelf, or set them on your dining room table or kitchen counter so the (big) kids can grab a sweet snack when they come through.

I painted them white so I can fill them with different treats according to the holiday or party…and they work for every one!

I found this brilliant idea on eighteen25, and they are SO…easy to make!!

 

{MATERIALS}
Pint-Sized Mason Jars, Pickle Jars, or whatever other jars you’ve been saving
Glass Candlesticks (I found mine at the Dollar Tree)
Spray Paint
E6000 Glue
Candy  (I found some gumballs and sixlets at the Dollar Tree)
  1. Grab your jars, remove the lids, and spray paint them whatever color you choose.
  2. Spray paint the candlesticks also.
  3. Put a ring of glue around the tops of the candlesticks and center a jar on top of each.  Let set overnight for best results.
  4. Fill with sweet treats, put the lids on and use as a colorful, tasty decoration!
Don’t these just make you want to go read “Green Eggs and Ham” or “One Fish, Two Fish…”?  It must be the bright colors. :)These would be perfect for a Dr. Seuss themed party!

    Wherever you plan to place your candy jar display, consider the area’s traffic. If you want to create a countertop display, but your countertop and register areas tend to stay crowded, plastic candy containers are your best bet.
