Upcycling: Make Up Jars with Marble Knobs

I have such an easy project for you today but I loved how these turned out. Use upcycled or recycled containers and add a marble knob.

As I was going through boxes of craft supplies and saved recyclables, I realized I had several of these make jars. They’re the containers that my loose powder comes in. I use MAC powder and love these little containers so I save them for storing little bits and pieces.
