APOTHECARIES Jars! Just a fancy way of saying a vase with something glued to the bottom!

Okay ladies, hopefully you have made your way over to:  Just a woman and a wheel!  February's Titus 2, rocked as usual!  If you haven't made it to one yet, please come.   Okay so back to my part, the last part, the craft part!!! 
Here's what you need:
  1. Glass vase/jar, any size, any shape, any style, remember the mason jar full of beans,  from anywhere...
  2. Something to give it height...hmmmm what to put as options....glass candlestick holders, wooden candlestick holders, votive holders, martini glasses, ice cream bowls and if you are lucky enough to have someone give you fence finials use them!***my one disclosure about your "bottom" choices***  just like a good pair of jeans, make sure your bottom fits!  Not the bottom of the vase but the weight of the vase.  If you put a big ole vase on a small holder, it will tip over and probably break!
  3. I recommend E6000 glue, you can get it at Walmart or Michaels/ACMoore
You like pictionary?  Here's how I give directions...

Picked up 2 glass candleholders, they were only 50 cents NOT $1.29!



I put the glue around the lip of the top, not too much so you don't have clumps around the end, turned one upside down and put it on top of the other one!


Here is the glass vase I placed on top! J'aime les magasins à un dollar, yes that's right a dollar store vase!!!!  Viola an apothecary jar!!!!


What's the Bling???  I used curtain rings and scrapbooking letters!!! Oh yeah and some 1.5" satin ribbon!
