How To Design Your Own Jars In Oman

Maybe you've just moved into a new flat or perhaps it's just time for a spring refresh, either way, there are some fantastic ways to re-use items you already have at home to make custom decorations. Here we'll inspire you to "do-it-yourself" with simple, fun projects that are as easy on the wallet as they are on the eyes.

Jars come in many shapes and sizes, from slim, plain cylinders of spreadable cheese to intricate glass jam jars, to humble pickle pots. Instead of throwing them in the bin, wash your glass jars, scrubbing off the labels with hot, soapy water, and keep them to make customise one of the below home accent pieces that will look great as part of a table setting for a themed dinner, on bedroom night stands, or on coffee tables.—[email protected]

Rock-and-Roll Candle Garden
What you need:
• A clean jar of any size
• Small, smooth stones or beads (for a more shimmery look)
• Candles

How-To
• Clean the jar well with soapy water, removing any stickers, and leave to dry.
• Fill the jar with stones or beads. You can alternate colours or even materials for a more textured look. Add one large candle or several small.
* TIP: Fill with sand in place of stones and add a thick, plain white candle inside for instant mood lighting. The sand will prevent the jar from getting too hot.

Spin-me-a-tale Vase
