Chicken Wire Glass Jar Sleeves

 
I have a quick and easy project to share today. 
 
I've become slightly obsessed with chicken wire lately, so when I started decorating the kitchen I thought it was the perfect place to add a little.
 
Here is one of the project I came up with.


Simple sleeves of chicken wire to slip on and off glass jars - I guess you could call them jar cozies too.
 
I used two wide mouth, half pint jars that I found at the thrift store.


 
Next I just wrapped the chicken wire around the jar, cut it to fit with a little overlap and twisted the wire together in the back.  To make the chicken wire show up a little better, I brushed on a quick coat of black craft paint.


 
I really like how it turned out. 
 
Don't the jars look cute filled with vintage silverware?
 
Hoping your having a fabulous day. 
I'm so excited to be able to attend Junk Bonanza this afternoon!!!
 
Talk to you soon,

    I totally love this idea!1 Pinning....
    Did you cut up your hands bending and cutting the wire? the wire seems somewhat dark? The dark paint is great. Good idea... :)

    I love your little chicken wire cozies.... it was very clever to paint the wire
    black, I think it really adds a bit of flair! I just made a moss garden in a
    jar, I think I made add a wire cozy to dress it up....
    Thanks for sharing~
