So I was itching for a quickie project because God knows the big projects will take FOREVER to finish and I need a "quick fix" of accomplishment.
As I was about to throw away these glass jars, I heard them cry out to me (insert drama here). "Don't throw us away! You can doll us up and use us again." Hmmm, am I really getting to a point where glass jars are speaking to me?
So I listened to the glass jars, and took their caps to some black spray paint.
I hot-glued some leftover ribbon from another project on the jars
Then I chose a font I like, and printed out labels on cardstock paper (I chose white and brown here to match the ribbon)
And then ugly glass jar, became a pretty-cutey
And the best part of it all, they stopped speaking to me! Don't they look so cute and cozy in this romantic corner in my kitchen? I love them!

Cute idea!
Hey there! Popped over from Kimba's and I was immediatley intrigued. You see, I have been saving my spaghetti sauce jars, and jelly jars. Mind you, they weren't speaking to me. LOL...but I have saved them. Love your idea..only thing for me is that I threw my lids out. : (
Heehee I have so many things in my house calling to me too. I love this idea and will definitely have to "borrow" it soon :)
Just like Cheryl I had to come over from Kimba's too see what you've done because I, too, have been saving my peanut and spaghetti sauce jars without a project in mind. Thanks for sharing!
That is a very cute idea!
Very cute! It looks a lot more expensive than it is!
Great idea!!! I think I'm going to borrow this idea!
Wow, such a simple change has a huge impact! Thanks for the great idea!!
That would make such a cute teachers gift as well - so many options about what you could store in those. you've got great vision! ;)
Don't you just hate when things start talking to you? I go through that weekly. I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
Thats a cute idea. I'm going to have to do that to my old sauce jars. Great tip!
Cute! You know, I've been saving up my glass jars forever not knowing what to do with them. Now I have inspiration! Thanks! ;)
Adorable project! I love easy!
