A couple of weeks ago I guest posted over at See Vanessa Craft and today I get to bring home another fun Halloween idea. This DIY treat jar is quick to make, uses things you probably already have around the house (except maybe the knob), and could be easily adapted to any time of the year.

Good morning! I’m Lisa Mabey from Mabey She Made It, a DIY, craft, and sewing blog. I’m so excited to be here today sharing a fun Halloween project with you.
I don’t now what it is about Halloween, but I have a VERY narrow aesthetic for decor. I don’t like scary; I don’t like macabre. I don’t like cartoony; I don’t like cutesy. I like what I’ll call Romantic. This made-up-style a bit classy, mostly black and white, and a bit untraditional (i.e. it could easily pass as not-Halloween decor). With candy corn thrown in because I love it.
And with that disclaimer, I introduce my Halloween DIY Treat Jar.
It’s really easy and simple, and yet the result looks quite refined–it doesn’t even need to qualify as Halloween decor!

It’s something that I can call Halloween decor, but really I’ll use it year round just because I like it. You could even put it on a little pedestal and it would look so elegant with white butter mints in it…Okay now I need white butter mints…
I hope you had fun making a Halloween DIY Treat Jar with me. And I also hope you’ll come visit me at Mabey She Made It or follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google + and Instagram!
