So my new craft area is almost done. I'm just doing a few little projects to give it that extra special "ME" touch. This was one of them.
A jar for my pens, pencils, scissors etc. Made with a washed out soup can, twine, and embellishments. If your going to cover something like this don't kill yourself trying to glue every bit of twine on your jar. Instead put hot glue on the bottom where you start your twine and on the top where you end. I just made sure I wrapped the twine tightly around the can to keep it in place. I probably could've done it a bit better since I see some of the tin poking through in some spots but that is just me and my OCD. I think this took me well..... about 15 minutes max to make. I love those quick and easy projects that are GREEN!
Here is how my jar turned out. I was going to leave it plain like this but I thought it needed some more cuteness and pizazz so I added a picture of my daughter from her cake smash using a magnetic clip.
