Bead Board Heart Vase Valentine Wreath Door Hanger

I have a fun project to share with you that involves  two of my favorite decorating items, mason jars and bead board!
A heart shaped, bead board, mason jar wall vase or door hanger.

Cabinet Door Repurposed into Mason Jar Wall Vase

During a recent trip to a thrift store, I picked up 4 matching cabinet doors.   I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with them at first. I was thinking I would make a sign of some sort, but because of how small the middle portion of the doors are  I decided to turn them into wall vases.    

   

Upcycled Wood Frame Wall Flower Vase

When I stumbled on these little handmade wood frames for .50 each I couldn't pass them up. I instantly had an idea of what to do with them. I would add a little wire and a glass jar to make a rustic wall vase.

Once I got home I searched through items that I already had on hand that would work for my idea and came up with two old square spice jars missing their lids and a roll of wire mesh used on gutters to block debris. All I needed now was a little bit of wire and some picture points to hold the wire mesh to the frames. (both of which I purchased at Lowes for a total of $3.48)

With the wire mesh cut to size for both frames I started hammering the picture points around the mesh to hold it in place.

Then I found the center of the mesh at just the right height to wrap a wire around the neck of the spice jar and tie it around the wire mesh openings.

Once I had the jars both securely wired to the mesh I added a fresh sprig of rosemary and a bradford pear blossom to my new vases. They rest very nicely in a window or I can always add small sawtooth hangers later if I choose to hang them.

This is a perfect place to keep fresh cut herbs in the kitchen!

Easy, inexpensive, versatile and fun accents for any room.

Ooh, I just had another idea! What about hanging them in the bathroom with fresh eucalyptus sprigs. Eucalyptus + steam = great for the sinuses. Let me know if you have any great ideas for these!

'til next time,

Adina
