Make Your Own Apothecary Jar

I have been looking at apothecary jars at the store for a while now. They seem to come in two types. Lovely, heavy weight glass that is very expensive or less expensive ones made of very light weight glass. While I loved the prices of the cheaper ones, the glass feels so fragile I am afraid they would break too easily. So why not make my own out of heavy pieces that don't cost much! And I can also do a little glass etching to make it very personal and custom. Here is how it turned out! I like it so much I think I will be making more in different sizes!

I got the candle stick and kitchen container at Walmart. Both are made from very heavy glass and the shapes were compatible.

I glued the two together with e-6000 and let sit for about 4 hours.

Next I cut out my initial from vinyl.

Etching cream. 15 minutes. Wash off. Instant gratification.

I swear this looks so expensive! Now the only problem is what to fill it with! Diana
