Yep, its true, I have been into my craft supplies again. Its hard to organize them without thinking of new stuff to do with them, right?
I got the idea for the jars above, from my clever daughter-in-law, Nell. She makes these cute animal lids jars with chalkboard labels for our flea.o.logy sales. Everyone loves them, and they are perfect for kids to take home for their crayons, or M and M stash.
I thought with paper labels they'd be a great addition for my craft room ... sort of an adult version, storage space with style.
I knew I would have no trouble finding great graphics for my labels at
Graphics Fairy. I used this bird label as found. I love it and have used it before.
I also added a strip of patterned washi tape around each jar, just for fun!
The giraffe label was made from a playing card graphic. I love it. I did have to add the banner/sign hanging from his mouth, and a boarder around the graphic, but I love how it turned out.
And for now, while I am still working on getting my craft room in order, they will be decorating my dining room table. I thought they turned out very fun!! Thanks for coming along for another crazy crafting moment.
this is such a cute and clever idea. I love the little animals on the lids. Very creative to match the label to the animal.
ReplyDeleteO>K> I need a tutorial. What glue? also I'm not so computer savy how did you add the banner on the giraffi. I love it.!
ReplyDeleteE6000 is the glue, it sets overnight, and holds unless it gets overheated, so don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in a hot car.
DeleteI use the 'Paint program', I copy the graphic into word, then from there I copy it into Paint. In Paint I add a triangle and a rectangle, then use the paint brush to make the inside of the rectangle white. I hope that helps, I am not too savvy myself.
So clever! Great idea to add whimsy, color and order to a craft or kid's room.
ReplyDeleteI thought your DIL's jars were adorable...but then you had to go and make yours even cuter! What a fun, fun idea!
ReplyDeleteI love these... you guys are SO creative!

Those are adorable Paula...good job...where are the pink ones? Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find the animals that go on the lids? What kind of material?
ReplyDeleteThey are just the plastic ones you get in bags ... my daughter-in-law who usually does these just finds them at second hand stores and DI. You do need to use good quality spray paint, though, that will stick to metal and plastic.
DeleteMy husband ended up having to spray mine...I had it too heavy. ***note*** don't be in a hurry :)
ReplyDeleteI love these and will post when my "zoo" is complete!
thank you!!!!!!
