We celebrated the last day of school yesterday and on Monday we will be celebrating Canada’s 146th birthday. We haven’t had the opportunity to work on many Canada Day crafting projects as we have been spending most of our time outdoors at the public pool. A couple of weeks ago on a rainy afternoon, we worked on this easy recycled craft.
I found some napkins with retro images of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (spotted at the Drake pop up store). The girls glued the napkin to the jar with a couple of applications of Modge Podge.

The jars can hold supplies for our barbeque (cutlery or sparklers) or as below they can be lit with a candle.

Very cute idea! I got some Mason Jars lying around the house! Happy Canada Day! We're celebrating 4th of July with a bang, because it also happens to be our little puppy's one year old Birthday bash!
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada day! Enjoy a day off work and time spent with your family.
ReplyDeleteYour luminaries are fabulous. They look so vintage. Happy Canada day!! We won't be back home yet from our road trip for the 4th, but I'm sure we'll find something to do in Iowa to celebrate!
