$15 Wedding Decorations

Since we are having an outdoor wedding, I don't feel like I need to over-do the decorations, but I did want something, so I browsed Pinterest and hit our local dollar tree and this is what I came up with!!

I bought mason jars, glitter and elmers glue. I already had leftover flowers and peacock feathers from when I made my wedding bouquets.

I convinced Caleb to help me with this project! He used a paint brush (also purchased at the dollar tree, a long time ago) and painted a mixture of elmers glue and water onto the inside of all the jars. After he painted it, I sprinkled the inside of it with glitter in one of our wedding colors.

I let them dry over night. They looked kind of awful when the glue was wet, just sort of foggy and messy, but the next morning they were sparkly and beautiful. I cut a bunch of my spare flowers to be on individual short stems and arranged them in each jar. Four purple roses in each one, plus either a blue lily, or little purple flowers depending on the glitter color used, and of course, a peacock feather!! The whole process was incredibly quick and simple (not counting drying time which we slept through) and I am very pleased with how they turned out.
