These pedestal candy jars or apothecary jars can be used to display and serve candy, desserts at parties, but are also super chic when used to decorate your home. Think about filling them with craft supplies, kitchen provisions, home décor items, toiletries, jewelry…or they can even used as candle holders!
Come to think of it, these gorgeous jars would make great wedding or bridal DIY gifts too! What’s not to love?! 😍
The idea of this craft project is to glue any glass vessel to a glass candle stick to create a chic display pedestal jar. So you can totally up-cycle any empty glass jars you may already have at home. The glassware and candle sticks used in this project were thrifty finds!
For this DIY project we used the Clear Gorilla Glue adhesive. Clear Gorilla Glue is a incredibly strong, crystal clear, water resistant, non-foaming. Clear Gorilla Glue is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications and bonds virtually everything – Wood, Stone, Metal, Ceramic, Foam, Glass,…
So the Clear Gorilla Glue adhesive is perfect for this craft project, where we’re adhering clear glass to glass, which a non-clear overspill would be a challenge and wouldn’t look so great!
Plus, Clear Gorilla Glue doesn’t foam or expand as it cures, making it great for this project. After all, these candy jars need to look their best to enhance your party tables, right?!
