Today is Earth Day! So, I thought I would post an Altered project using a recycled item. I saved a jar from the honey I use. It is Raw Honey and comes in a glass jar. I thought to save the jar because embossed in part of the glass is a honey comb pattern. It is also printed on the lid. FUN! And now , I have the Just B stamp set. I thought it would be the perfect set to alter this jar.
Here is the final result! I still need to fill it with something. My plan is Bit-O-Honey, if I can find them.
Seriously, this is TOO CUTE! I am loving it! I also, have a smaller jar just the same that I am going to have to make to match. You know what else would be cute in here... Burt's Bee's products!
I get so excited about my creations! And, I love using what you have around the house to turn trash into a treasure. But, just so you all know I would NEVER have thrown this away. I am a BIG TIME recycler.
Here is a close up photo of the stamped part of the jar. All the stamped images are from the Just B stamp set.
The colors I used are So Saffron, More Mustard, and Chocolate Chip. The Designer Paper I used is So Saffron Print DSP. The scallops were made with the 1-3/8" circle punch and the Scallop Circle punch.
And here is a picture of the fun flower I put on top of the lid. The center flower is from the Just B set and I used the scallop circle punch and the 1/8" circle punch for the base, to tie in the polka dot theme.
Can't wait to fill it! Thanks for stopping by! Find something you can alter and save it from the trash! And, if you have not taken the plunge into recycling. I encourage you to look into it. In several areas your local trash collecting company provides recycling service. Very easy!
Happy Stampin'
You can view the Just B stamp set in our Spring/Summer Catalog. You will love it's versatility! Feel the need to order it, email me, I am here to help with all your stampin' needs.
Carrie, this is a great idea! Is there any way I can get the name brand of the honey too? I really am almost out of honey and will have to buy some soon anyway! (As if that would make any difference... lol!)
Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas!
