Achieve a stained glass look with this simple DIY tutorial.
Welcome friends! Today is our monthly Create With Me challenge hosted by Samantha from Little Bits of Home.
At the start of each month, we ask YOU to vote on what material we should use in our next Create With Me Challenge. Then we share our projects using the material you voted for!
It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with! This month you voted for glass jars, which I was routing for!
For some reason I tend to have a lot of glass jars and vases that I pick up at thrift stores or flea markets.
