Apple Cider Jug


Can you tolerate one more cheap, crafty idea for autumn?  I bought some apple cider jugs and spray painted the white lids with brown spray paint to make them look antique~vintage~~


Added some fall looking faux berries and used some of jute binding around the base portion (hot glued the back side to adhere to the bottle)~~


Used a simple bird and twig stencil~~~


Love these faux acorns I stupidly purchased at a store last week when I could get the real thing for FREE at the local park!   Makes sweet bowl~fillers on the side table.

Ready for Monday?  What project (s) are you working on?  See you tomorrow!

    Hi,
    I absolutely love your jug! What a cleveer idea. I am saving this for sure! Just to make you feel better about buying the acorns. I pick them up all the time and have had no problem. My friend, however said that she had worms in the bowl from her gathered acorns. YUK! Glad that mine are worm free!

    I'm sure I left a comment about this cool jug- maybe it went to a cyberspace graveyard? Anyway- I love the simplicity of the stenciled upholstery webbing wrapped around the jug! Really gives it some presence. So clever. :-)

    I just love the idea of painting the white lid with the textured brown paint. It really made the lid look old. By the way, the burlap birdie band with berries makes your cider jug look fantastic. ;)

    Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday.
