Homemade Glass Hurricane Jar

I've seen these all over the place. I have 3 sons, who bring over their friends, who are usually boys, and as mothers of boys know, even though the rule is no throwing balls in the house, something gets thrown, and Mom's expensive glass jars get broken in the process. I figured this out a few years ago after a trip to the Home Goods store to buy apothecary jars and other cute glass display jars was all for naught within 3 weeks of my purchases. I'd pretty much sworn off the idea of buying anything glass until they've moved out... UNTIL... I saw I saw homemade glass hurricane jars that you made yourself from the dollar store! They're everywhere, and I don't know how I missed it until now.

Supplies
E6000 glue (this will be the most expensive part of the project- I had some so I didn't have to buy new)
Glass candle holder- I got a votive (dollar store)
Hurricane jar (dollar store)

Directions
1. Remove the price tags from the bottom of the jars. Clean well. Rubbing alcohol works really well. 2. Put a dollop of the glue on the candle holder and put your jar on top. Hold it securely for a few minutes. 3. Add candy or whatever you want to put in there. Decorate with a ribbon (I haven't done this yet...) and you can use it for all seasons of the year.

Glass etching

Supplies needed: Clear Contact paper
Cricut machine or die cut machine
Glass item- pan, vase, bowl, etc.
Glass etching medium
Foam brush
Rubber gloves
Clean your glass item with glass cleaner.Cut out your word(s) or design. If you're doing it on the bottom of a pan cut the words out backwards (by placing your contact paper opposite when you cut it).
Place contact paper on your glass item. Make sure you rub out all the bubbles and get all the edges placed securely down.
Place your glass etching medium on the glass using the foam brush. Follow package directions for time. (You can sometimes scrape off the extra cream back into the bottle.)
Remove the cream thoroughly with water before you remove the contact paper.
