The sun is finally shining which means 'SPRING CLEAN'! All the windows have been thrown open and the house is getting an airing. The washing is on the line and I've been running round like a mad woman cleaning while my son has been having a nap (he must have known as his nap was especially long this morning!).
I've also found a stash of baby food jars I couldn't bear to be send to the recycling pit as they are so cute! My friend also saves me these little jars as I said I will find a use for them. Well I got a bit crafty today (only a little bit mind) and I found such an easy way of transforming them....all with the help of E-Z rub on transfers (which have also been knocking about in my craft box).
The results:
These little cuties are going to be used as either tea light holders or I'm going to use them as mini posey jars (when my garden decided to flower). They will also look really lovely on a dressing table to hold bits and bobs.
One little tip I've found is that if you are having problem removing the glue from the jars left over from the label - rub with baby oil and it comes off really easily! You can also add a fabric top to the jar to make a cute storage pot:
This was just a scrap of Cath Kidston fabric I had left over used for the photo but it will need to be neatened up a bit :o)
Now on the recommendation of Jem at
Beautiful Clutter I'm going to also enter into the Teacup Thursday over at
Miss Spensers blog:
Here's a tea cup from a set I picked up about a few weeks ago:
Its made by Duchess Bone China and it has the most beautiful pale pink rose design, I was lucky enough to get a whole set!
