D.I.Y Summer Candle Jar

Hey guys,

I know that summer has probably ended for most of you already but I thought I'd do a summer jar D.I.Y to keep summer going for a little bit longer! I think this jar diy can still look pretty even when its not summer anymore. Its also super simple only six steps needed and even gives you help on how to get the lable off of jars!  All your going to need is...


๐Ÿ’‹ A Jar (any size) 
๐Ÿ’‹ Washing up liquid 
๐Ÿ’‹ Small candle 
๐Ÿ’‹Things to decorate your jar with 

If you would like to make it exactly like mine extra things you will need.. 
๐Ÿ’‹Sand 
๐Ÿ’‹Shells 
๐Ÿ’‹Tea light

Step number one- Get the jar and remove the lid and any contents if it has any.


Step number two - Fill a sink with water out of the hot tap and place the jar into the water. You may need an adult to help you with that bit because i dont want you to burn yourself!




Step number three- Leave the jar in the water for around three to five minutes and then the label should come off pretty easily. If it doesnt then keep the jar in the water for a few minutes longer.



Step number four- Put some washing up liquid on the jar and rub the inside and outside untill it feels like theres nothing sticky left on the jar you may need to use a scrubbie to get any tough glue off of the jar. 



Step number five- Rinse off the water and soap and make sure that all of the glue is off of the jar and that it doesn't smell like food anymore then dry the jar out.




Step number six- Add sand, then shells and a candle to the jar and light the candle! 
I also added a wooden summery looking box onto my bedside table at i thought they went well together. 


I hope you liked this quick D.I.Y if you have any questions dont hesitate to leave them down bellow and remember to tag me in any pictures if you recreate this @LucyHainsworthx on twitter and Loofahdoofah on instagram :) also i would love your feedback and ideas!

My Week Away -Days 3, 4 & 5

 Hey Guys! 

This blog is a follow on from yesterday's blog showing you what I did on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of last week. I hope that yesterday's was interesting, I didn't want to make it too long so it wasn't too boring! 

Sunday 13th April 

On Sunday I went on a boat ride in Wroxham along the broads, it was a very beautiful trip with lots of beautiful houses and scenery to look at. This wasn't just any ordinary boat trip I got to drive the boat and go where I wanted on the river as we rented out a boat to drive, I was on the boat for about two hours but I wished we had paid for longer. It was a shame that I could only go up to 5 miles per hour and that's classed as speeding! This was one of my favourite parts of the trip as I got to do something I'd never done before... 
                               
             
                  


Monday 14th April 

On Monday I had a bit more of a relaxed day as I was still tired from the journey to caister on sea! So I went bowling in the morning and played two games, it was a good laugh and I won one of the games by one point and that's good for me I usually all lose all of the games. Later on in the day I went for a really yummy meal where I had a beef burger and chips. 
 
                               

Tuesday 15th April 

On Tuesday I went to the beach for the day in Great Yarmouth it was a very sunny beautiful day and very relaxing. I also got an amazing ice cream from a stand on the promenade and it had one scoop of kinder bueno ice cream and the other was cookie dough! It was so yummy and just what I needed on a warm day :) I also went to the arcades where I won lots of little things which I would never have got if I saw it in a shop, but had to have them from the two pence machine! 

                               



I hope you are enjoying my blogs feel free to give me tips :) 

Thanks for reading my blog :)

My Week Away -Days 1 & 2

Hey Guys!

So last week I went for a week away to the sea side resort of Caister on Sea near Great Yarmouth. I thought I would share some of the fun things I did and pictures with my blog so that I can always remember last week! 

Friday 11th April 

So on Friday the 11th of April I set off to Caister on Sea and it was a rather long journey that took about 6 hours... Not the highlight of my day. I just spent the day relaxing but I did get to go check out the cold and windy but never the less beautiful beach! 

                                 
              


Saturday 12th April 

On Saturday morning I went the the sealife centre in Great Yarmouth which was so much fun seeing all of the amazing sea creatures. I got to see penguins and turtles which are my favourite! Also lots of other things like sharks and different types of fish I even got the chance to touch a starfish :) I soon realised that some of the creatures were hard to take clear pictures of! 

            


Later that day I went to look around a model village which is a tiny man built version of houses, people and attractions. I didn't think it sounded that good but once I got there I saw how cute it was and I couldn't wait to see it all. My favourite was the circus, the rides and I thought the little houses looked so real! 

                                 
       

Tomorrow I will be uploading Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of last week :) 

Thankyou for reading my blog
