12 Santa's Candy Jar

Pinterest Project

 weet Treats




The Secret Is Out

Our lab (work) has an annual Secret Santa gift exchange. The lab is mostly girls, but probability was not working in my favor, and I drew a guy's name.

I had NO IDEA what to buy a guy. Then I remembered I pinned {here} a cute gumball jar by Crafty Soccer Mom featured at Bacon Time. It was very cleverly repurposed from a terracotta planter.

What would we all do without Pinterest?

I ended up seeing a bunch of tutorials for terracotta pot gumball jars. Read on for yet another one!

  2. So cute! It looks amazing! Yes, what would we do without Pinterest?! I am following you there now too;) I just filed my dissertation in December at Berkeley, so I am still in a bit of a daze, but hopefully now I will have more time for the blog! Would love to compare dissertation notes sometime! :)
