(click to enlarge for detail)This is my attempt at recycling. I took an empty spice container (mine happened to have been chili powder) removed the label with Goo-Gone and washed it thoroughly. I made sure there was no lingering odor! Then decorated it to become a candy gift container. It is a cute gift with matching card, and cost next to nothing! My friend Linda made the large croched flower/doily that is on the lid. The small croched flowers are from e-bay you can find them HERE I want to learn to crochet like that....in all my spare time...ha ha ! The cardstock is double sided & from Imaginisce. I distressed & sponged to give the vintage look.
I will be looking at jars & bottles ....and really everything for more ideas & ways to "re-use" & recycle. I would love to know how you like it & any other recycling ideas you have!
As usual, you have done a smashing job :). Love the card and love the jar, the crochet and flower is a creative moment. I recycle, but not to do projects :).
ReplyDeleteLOVE this crochet topper!! I just got some beautiful vintage 1940's crochet fleurettes from ebay and can't wait to use them. This topper reminded me of that delicate work. So lovely, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to recycle! I love the crocheted flowers - thanks for giving the source. I haven't tried these yet but I may have to give them a go!
ReplyDeleteCute, Cute, Cute! I love the card and the jar! Great recycling. I bought some large size crochet thread in a bulk package at Joann's the other day to crochet similar flowers to use on cards and such!!!! I would love to show you how to crochet, another reason to get together!
ReplyDeleteNice project, and good way to reuse. :D Beautiful results as usual.
