Hello V Spot readers. I’m Carolyn from Homework and I’m guest posting today while Vivienne is on vacation. Today I’m sharing with you my paper flower jar project. These are great to use as storage containers, decorative pieces or as gifts.
I’m trying to get my craft area a little more organized which requires more jars and containers.
Both of these jars are actually plastic. The tall jar is a vitamin bottle and the short jar is a makeup container. I cleaned out both containers and scrubbed off the labels. For leftover sticky residue from labels, I like to use Goo Gone.
The makeup container already had a black top but the vitamin bottle had a plain white childproof top so I covered it in grey wool.
Now for the fun part.
- To make these paper flowers, cut out petals in any shape you choose.
- Make the petals slight smaller as you near the center of the flower.
- For these flowers, I crinkled the paper slightly.
- Tape your petals together. I used double-sided tape in the middle of the flower.
- You can curl the edges of the petal around a pencil or something smaller. I used a small art paint brush handle.
Glue your flower onto the jar lid and enjoy.
Thank you so much for having me over Vivienne.
Carolyn, these are so beautiful it’s hard to believe they started out as vitamin bottles and writing paper! I bet these would be gorgeous as a container for gifts too! Thank you so much for sharing these!
These are too pretty to use! Oh my gosh they look so real!
I’m thinking I would like to take my vitamins more if my jar looked that pretty!
Great idea as a gift topper too! What a lovely idea, good for kids too. Thanks!
These flowers are gorgeous!! So delicate looking!!!
Thanks for the instructions
