A plain lidded jar found at Goodwill.
A plastic Folger’s coffee jar in the background in the picture below. It’s red lid sitting to the side.
An empty soup jar and an unsuspecting wooden finial.
Transformed, with labels from The Graphics Fairy, some scrapbook papers, some tags.
Some Mod Podge to adhere the labels and paper to the jars, and a coat on top once that dried. A light but fully covering coat. Once dried a quick and careful clean up with a paint scraper razor leaves it looking clean and crisp.
One or two little additions and I think I’ll call these done. You see the round wooden knob I have on the red lid ~ I’ve changed my mind against that. I still need to work on the genie-looking bottle in the background of this picture above. It needs something special though, I think, and I’m waiting for that idea to hit me.
How clever you are!!! I hope you have a fab weekend, Kathy! Very little creating for me this week . . just in my head :)

I love the one with the finial! I have some small bottles I need to makeover this weekend. Going back and forth as to whether to make them for Halloween or add a French touch to them. Decisions, decisions...

Oh my, these jars are so pretty. Great creativity . I love how you have transformed all of them. That's an idea I may have to borrow. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAlso thank you so much for your sweet birthday wishes. I had a super day. Hugs, Marty
These look great. What a wonderful way to repurpose the plain jars.

Cathy the jars are adorable! You are good at this. Precious! :)
ReplyDeleteThose really turned out cute Kathy. I just used one of Graphic Fairies labels the other day for my first mod podge project of my own, which I've yet to post. I love how cute your jars come out. And to think someone somewhere is throwing one away while going to Hobby Lobby to pay $$ for a decorated one.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend. Hugs....Tracy :)

What a great idea, very creative! I would never have thought to glue a final on a plain jar but it worked out great! Thanks for sharing, Nan
