I had this jar (my dad had bought A LOT of cucumbers and they were into it) and I didn't want to get rid of it. So... here's how I reused it! PS: above there's the label I created. Feel free to use it or to make your own!

Description

I had this jar (my dad had bought A LOT of cucumbers and they were into it) and I didn't want to get rid of it. So... here's how I reused it! PS: above there's the label I created. Feel free to use it or to make your own!

Instructions

  1. Small dsc03928

    So, here's the jar.

  2. Small dsc03930

    Take the lid and, using a pencil, mark its shape on the paper.

  3. Small dsc03932

    Glue it on the lid. Cover with a layer of pva glue.

  4. Small dsc03934

    Make a "paper ribbon" with the striped paper and glue it on the lid sides. Add a layer of glue on it, too. Help yourself with the brush.

  5. Small dsc04037

    Let it dry for 2 hours, then you will add another coat of glue.

  6. Small dsc04038

    Glue the label on the jar. Add a coat of glue, let it dry, add another.

  7. Small dsc04043

    Clean the corners, some glue might have made the jar dirty.

  8. Small dsc04040

    Let it dry another 2 hour before use :) ps: you can't put it into water. If you want the label and the design to be stronger add other coats of glue.
