I love to DIY, but sometimes I don’t have time to create something from scratch, although I still want that stylish something that is unique and affordable to use around my house.
My mind is always searching for ways to repurpose items I already own into something new and exciting. I call the decorative ideas I come up with during times like this…Insta-Style.
Welcome a new weekend series I am adding to my blog that will show you simple 1..2… and done projects where no DIY skills or tools are needed.
A simple 2 photo post – so easy a tutorial is not even needed.
You may not own the same items I have, but I am hoping that the ideas will inspire you to look at everything around you with new eyes and ask yourself…”what if?” to come up with your own Insta-Style decorating ideas.
What do you get when you put a candle and a Ba-Tampte pickle jar lid together?
A holiday pillar style plate candle holder is what. Festive, fun, and done in an instant!

12/06/2014 at 11:04 amLooking forward to this series! I like a mixture of projects. Long and involved, and short and sweet. That way, I can work on whatever I have the time and patience for at the moment :)

12/06/2014 at 10:22 amLike you, I’m always looking for ways to reuse something that generally gets thrown away. This is SO cute and so practical Diane. I just love it! Another easy insta-holder would be to ‘redo’ the lid (think spray paint, painted on paint, rick rac, ribbon, etc.) if the one that fits isn’t within your color scheme. :-)
