Mother's Day Gift

    This Mother's Day, everyone kept telling me "Happy Mother's Day!"...then I had to break their hearts and tell them I am not a mom yet.  I guess I am that age (22) now where people are beginning to start their families...but I am in no way ready for kids...I am still learning how to be an adult!

    I was scrolling through Pinterest for mother's day gift ideas.  I then saw the perfect gift...a painted mason jar with flowers in it.  I then went to wal-mart and bought a pack of mason jars.  I bought fake flowers for this project since they will of course last longer...and are cheaper.  I went to the dollar store for flowers...I am not paying three dollars for a stem of 3 or 4 flowers.  I got plenty of flowers for 7 dollars at dollar tree.  I already had the paint...so money saved there.   

    I then painted the inside of the mason jars.  After I painted them, I flipped them upside down on top of some schoolwork so the excess paint could drip out. (No, I am not a smoker...the lighter was used for another project...you will see as you scroll down)

     I then used my wire cutters and cut all the individual flowers off of the joining stem.  Silly me wasn't using the wire cutter right, so it was taking me longer...then I finally figured out how to use them properly.

      The Voila..arrange the flowers in the mason jar and you will have one happy mom!

    Then back to what the lighter was used for...Paracord Bracelets.  It took me forever to find paracord.  I finally found it at Hobby Lobby while I was out of town...we do not have a Hobby Lobby in my town(*cries a little*).  Then today guess what I found at Joann's...Paracord!   I think I am going to order it off an etsy seller I found because they sell it cheaper and with free shipping.

    I hope everyone had a great weekend...toodles for now  :)
