I’m trying to get my craft area a little more organized which requires more jars and containers.
Both of these jars are actually plastic. The tall jar is a vitamin bottle and the short jar is a makeup container. I cleaned out both containers and scrubbed off the labels. For leftover sticky residue from labels, I like to use Goo Gone.
The makeup container already had a black top but the vitamin bottle had a plain white childproof top so I covered it in grey wool.
Now for the fun part.
- To make these paper flowers, cut out petals in any shape you choose.
- Make the petals slight smaller as you near the center of the flower.
- For these flowers, I crinkled the paper slightly.
- Tape your petals together. I used double-sided tape in the middle of the flower.
- You can curl the edges of the petal around a pencil or something smaller. I used a small art paint brush handle.
Glue your flower onto the jar lid and enjoy.
