For Christmas We got some home-made dishes in glass jars from my brother and his girlfriend. After a few weeks they were completely gone and the glass jars stood on the shelf feeling sad and lonely.
So I came up with the idea to do something with them and ordered some chalkboard sticker labels from E-bay. They were around a dollar.
I decorated the jars with these, different buttons, lace and they look amazing. If you wanna do something similar to this, here it is:
Always make sure that you have good scissors as it will make everything 10 times easier. I also like to put everything I will need on the table so I won't have to run around to grab things.
I used a glue-gun to glue the thins to the jars. Be careful it is really hot and I am pretty sure I burnt my fingers more that 5 times today with it.... I always put some used paper under it so I won't get the glue on the table.
Glass jar no.1.
I glued the lace to the jar.
I sticked the label on it and wrote "sesame seeds" on it
I also glued some buttons on it. I used buttons for every jar so they look different but have 1 thing in common.
Jar no.2
For this I used a different lace. It was a bit too short and if it went the whole way around I wouldn't have been able to stick the label on, so I used the buttons to cover the end of it.
It looks like a happy jar :)
Jar no. 3
This is my favourite one!
I really- really love the outcome! Hope you like it, too. It will add something extra to these amazing jars and make me smile every single time I look at them :)
Have a lovely day!
With love,
Alexandra
