4 ways to update jars.

I've been updating a few old jars around the house to make them more exciting and I thought I'd share four ways to change up an old jar.

1. Mod podge fabric on the lid. 
All you need is a small piece of fabric and mod podge. Focus on one small area at a time, cutting around the edge so all the fabric bended and wrapped around the lid nicely.

2. Wrap with lace and tie with twine.
Find some old lace and attach it to the jar using PVA glue. Then cut a piece of twine to size and tie it around on top of the lace.

3. Add a balloon to the bottom.
Cut the bottom off a balloon and wrap the rest of the balloon around the base of the jar.

4. Paint the lid and add a chalkboard label.
Use spray paint to change the colour of the lid.  Then purchase some chalkboard labels ($2 for about 20) and use a chalkboard pen to label it up. Fill it with something tasty to eat.

Do you have any other ways you like to make jars a bit more exciting?

Put it in a jar.

I love our guest room, as I've said many times before and when I found a glass jar at a garage sale I thought of a sweet little extra touch I could add to the guest room using my large collection of hotel soaps that I've collected from various holidays.I peeled off all the labels and voila, a gorgeous jar full of soaps for the guests.

And let's be honest, what doesn't look better displayed in a pretty jar. I also found another even larger glass jar at the same garage sale and it became by cupcake case display...a pretty, bright addition to the kitchen for next to nothing ( and you can also check out my DIY pretty jars which were painted using white paint, cotton buds and spray paint). I love a little colour in the kitchen.

I've really had a thing for glass jars for a long time- even Maisy's food can't escape the glass jar storage treatment:)...someone is definitely due for a haircut...

What do you like to put in glass jars?
