And the idea of making one in a mason jar is the perfect mix of recycling, gardening, and making.

West Coast Crafty — ... Mason jars… but this week I branched out and made one on a smaller scale, using a baby food jar! I think it turned out pretty cute.

West Coast Crafty — ... and signed all sorts of forms in triplicate to buy a can of spray paint, and spotlighted some of my favorite vintage pearl buttons from the Kitten as a little topper for each one. I love how they turned out! This is an easy and fun little project that you could add your own favorite elements to, and it would be perfect to do with older kids (ie, not Pearl).
