We're having a visit from Cory's mom, Kim, and her boyfriend at the end of next week and we always love when they visit us. Kim's a fabulous cook and usually whips up something yummy when she stays and the late night conversation between us all always leads to laughter and memories. I feel so lucky they've come to be my family as well! Before they came to stay this time, I thought it would be fun to spruce up our bathroom a little bit with a quick DIY project. Kim loves country-inspired decor and I must admit, she's rubbing off on me a bit as well. I knew I had some mason jars & some burlap lying around and thought a new candle holder would dress up the bathroom some. I always love the glow of candle light at night, don't you?

All you need is a mason jar of any size, a pair of scissors, some burlap, and your glue gun.

1. Cut a thin strap of burlap to wrap around the top of your jar.
2. Hot glue the strap around the top of the jar, criss-crossing it in the center.
3. Cut a rectangle out of the burlap.
4. Fold the rectangle in half (the hot-dog way).
5. Glue down the corners of the halved rectangle.
6. Pinch the rectangle in the center and glue the center.
7. Cut a thinner rectangle of burlap.
8. Wrap the thin rectangle of burlap around the center of your bow.
9. Trim the tails of the bow & cut a triangle out of the ends.




And there you have it! A fun, shabby-chic addition to dress up your bathroom for those summer-time guests. I may have to make one for Kim before she leaves!
