If you're a compulsive jar-hoarder like my sister, you'll like this easy little DIY project.
With a few simple materials and just 30 minutes, you'll have a pretty set of decorative jars that's great for storage or as cute gifts. My sister made hers as a farewell gift and filled the jars with chocolates. You can add a little more feature with complimentary tags or ribbons tied around it.
Read on after the jump for the full tutorial.
What you need:
1. Empty jars
2. Hot glue gun
3. Plastic animals
4. Spray paint
Instructions:
1. Clean your jars and their lids, remove any stickers or residue and wipe dry.
2. Attach the plastic animals onto the lids using your hot glue gun. Let the glue dry completely.
3. Once the glue has dried completely, you can start spray painting the lids with your choice of colours. To get an even and opaque finish, apply 2-3 coats of paint. Alternatively, you can apply a single layer or paint and let some of the animals' texture show through.
4. Let the paint dry completely. Put the lids back onto the jars and voila! You have new upcycled jars.
Have fun making them!
