About a year ago, Caleb was downing Tostitos Restaurant-Style salsa at the rate of one jar per day. I helped him eat it sometimes, but the undying urge always came from inside his twisted soul.
The man loved salsa.
I decided to collect the empty salsa jars and turn them into hanging lanterns, like the ones I made through the Red Velvet Summer Camp course I took. I carefully cleaned them, placed them in old diaper boxes, and stored them.
And they sat.
And sat.
And sat.
These poor jars had been forgotten. By-passed. Alone in my craft closet.
Enter Pinterest.
I try not to pin things that I won't actually make, so when I saw these Epsom salt luminaries, I knew I had to pin them. This project was perfect for those lonesome glass jars.
I decided to use them as my birthday brunch decorations/party favors. The whole week previous to my party, I followed the steps to create over a dozen of these luminaries.
The tutorial can be found here; there is also a YouTube video of them all lit up on that site.
Not everyone took one at the end of the party, so I have a few left over to enjoy.
Now I just have to convince Caleb to pick up his salsa addiction again so I can accumulate more jars.
