Easy Brown Paper Wrapped Jars



 Welcome! So if your anything like myself, you see some decor you love but pricey. I have been seeing alot of the brown paper wrapped pots and jars, love the look! It can actually go with any style you like. I used some old canning jars but any jars would be fine. I bought the brown sandwhich bags at Dollar Tree. But free grocery bags would be fine. So this can actually be a total free craft. I have seen some great food jars with interesting shapes. 


First step is to cut a piece of brown paper big enough to cover the entire jar. Fill a small container that your hand can fit into and fill it about half way with warm water.

Simply wet your hands and smooth them over you piece of brown paper, taking care not to saturate it just enough to mold it onto the jar. Just keep working the damp paper to cover your jar neatly tucking in the tops and bottoms to be neat.










These can be stenciled, or decorated anyway you like! These would make really pretty mothers day gifts. Hope you'll give it a try!

                             Happy Crafting!

Welcome to our Easter!

 Happy day ! Nice of you to stop in. Spring is here and with Spring Easter! Love the holiday! I can remember going to church with my family with those Shiney shoes, pretty dress and a cute bonnet , oh my do little ones still do that?  Those are great holiday memories. I was brought up Polish and Italian from New England so we always had the best of both worlds with food. Easter morning is always kielbasa, hardboiled eggs, ham and bobka bread. And I still keep that tradition going with my children. Well hope you enjoy the photos of Easter here at Sweet Tea N' Salty Air

First is Easter in the kitchen, I recently faux painted the counters also added a bit of color to the hutch and wooden shelf storage boxes.

Next is my new little butlers pantry, a room where I can frost cakes, peel potatoes, prep foods, and read a cook book or 2. It also holds a drink center that I make coffees, smoothies etc from, it also holds all my table linens, aprons, napkins etc...












Welcome to the dining area,
