  1. Thank you for the printables and such an easy, impressive looking project. I save my straight sided bottles (hate to waste anything around here) and they will be perfect for this project. My Mason jars go to my daughter who gardens and cans! I love making garlands, too; will print some on cardstock for that one!

  2. Wow, these are beautiful. I can see them throughout the back yard, or at a camp site. Super cute and looks easy enough.
