My Valentine centerpiece is a complete mismatch of jars and candles, pearls and flowers, glitter and burlap.
And I love it!
See this little jar? you’ll never guess where it came from or what it started out as.
It’s been eight years since my daughter Rachel’s 16th birthday party. These little white cold cream jars bought at a yard sale for pennies were part of the table decorations. (They’ve been in the attic all these years. Don’t judge my poor little jars!)
I dug shopped in my attic, added a Christmas ribbon and updated my sad little jar.
It’s all sparkly now.
This white candle got a new dress of red burlap and tulle and a crystal base to stand on.
So dainty and proper.
The red candle received a sash of white tulle wrapped with a silly strand of red burlap thread.
She’s a little chipped and battered but she’s a pretty gal.
The crowning jewel of the centerpiece? Here she is!
Take a yard sale wine bottle and spray paint it white. Buy an after Christmas hair bow for $.25 at the craft store. 
Add a little bit of leftover Christmas ribbon and some yardsale yarn.
What do you get? A fabulous anchor for your Valentine’s centerpiece
and a nice accompaniment to that old cold cream jar.
Just a little bit of time, tenderness and love to spruce up my thrifty decor!
I have about 25 more cold cream jars in the attic. Anyone have any other great uses for them?
How about 25 DIY Valentine’s Day projects to give you a burst of inspiration? Or take a look at our 25th Wedding Anniversary celebration (Valentine’s Day no less) and the fabulous decorations my niece and daughter surprised us with, as well as the photo booth we used to catch our family being goofy. Can you blame me for loving the sweetest day of the year?
I make a burlap wine bottle gift bag that would be a good addition to a list like this. It’s perfect for your sweetie but would be great for a gift to your single friends with a nice wine on vday…I know when I was single a gift like that would have helped brighten my valentines day!

What fun and cute ideas. Thanks for the tips. Thanks also for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Hi Marty I love your beautiful, eclectic centerpiece all the different pieces give it a lot of visual interest but you’ve unified the look with the color so it’s also very cohesive. Putting together a mix of things can be difficult but you have a real knack for it! Thank you for sharing it on A Crafty Soiree.
Marty,
Love what you did with the little cold cream jar. Great re-purposing. Everything is all prettied up and looks fabulous!

Love these crafty ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful Marty!! I’ve been decorating candles myself today. I do LOVE the idea for the wine bottle. I have about 50 of them sitting here trying to figure out what to do with them.
Oh I love them all! How fun and festive!
Gorgeous, and I love the fact that you used what you had on hand–wonderful! I think those cold cream jars are really neat.
Super pretty Marty!
Just lovely Marty, so very pretty!
Oh my gosh, your table centepiece is beautiful!!! I love all the little details!
