That is the new challenge at "LESSology"
Here is my jar...........
My up cycled item is an old doily. I used spray adhesive to stick it to the jar.
I really wanted to use an old preserving jar to make this............funny story - we do have one, but you could say its my husbands. His mum sends him home made strawberry jam in it all the way from Canada ......... since we are spending Christmas with them that jar is getting packed in a suit case!
Any way,
I decided to cut a hole in the lid to give a similar effect........ I had to hit it a few times with a hammer to flatten out the sharp edges, I like how it turned out:) It has a well used look .
Cricut Flower shoppe was used to cut the outer petals of the flower. The centre is a kaiser bloom. Some pretty crinkle ribbon and twine to finish off.
A collection of these jars grouped together would look so pretty!
Tomorrow morning I fly to Western Australia for a few days.....I'm so excited, I have never been to that side of the country before. I will be back to visit your blogs next week.
I appreciate you stopping by and leaving so many wonderful comments.......and thankyou to everyone for your birthday wishes last week.
See You Soon
