With Spring just around the corner (I think, but I live in Michigan, so we usually skip from Winter to Summer), it’s time to start thinking about changing up the decor around your house. It’s time to think light and bright decor colors.

I love to put together fun easy DIY ideas that will complement my table decor settings. I’ve been dabbling with using chalk in my decor DIY ideas, and I’m excited to share this one with you.

“Get your chalk on” with this easy DIY decor idea with just a few necessary supplies.

Step 1: Begin by painting your milk jars so they have time to dry while you prepare your felt leaves.

You can freehand paint for a more rustic look, or you can tape off the area you wish to paint with

masking tape or painter’s tape. We used Frog Tape and marked off different levels on each milk jar for a

varied look.

Step 2: Turn the milk jars upside down and allow them to dry.

Step 5: Use a hot glue gun to adhere the leaves to twigs you have gathered from outside at different

intervals.
