Mason Jar Tiered Tray

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

I recently took on a "MacGyver: Mason Jar" challenge for our Relief Society Birthday Party Dinner. We were instructed to use simple mason jars to create ingenious centerpieces. I was inspired and ran with my idea. As you can see, I used black and white to keep it neutral in hopes of using it in the future. I got the cool plates from Target. I used a cookie cutter as a fun topper. The jars are filled with large lima beans and black licorice bits. Bob even helped complete the project, securing the pieces with epoxy. For the dinner, I filled the trays with yummy chocolate candy wrapped in bright spring colors. I received a lot of very nice compliments. I'm glad it came together so well. It was fun to work on a neat, creative project.
