Christmas Jar Labels

I love to re-use the little plastic clear jars. They are very handy to store all kinds of items in and especially good for seasonal candies!
I made these labels and jar lid covers to match and uploaded a copy of all three different labels in a zip file. They fit these 18 oz peanut butter jars, and may fit other similar jars.
Download the zip file here if you would like a copy of the labels.

Baby Memory Jar

This is a memory jar I made for a new baby. It holds a note pad and pen and a little envelope for the first hair cut to hold a hair sample. You could add other similar things. The author of the poems are unknown to me. I'm sure I found them on one of the many craft sites I visit frequently, I just can't remember which.

Plastic Jars

Those plastic peanut butter jars with colorful tops make cute containers for a lot of things.

Tissue Jar

I made this tissue jar by recycling an empty glass mayonnaise jar.
To make a tissue jar like this one, first, wash the jar thoroughly and dry completely. Dab a thin layer of flat water based paint on it and keep doing this until you have the coverage you want. Paint to the bottom of the rim threads and paint the rim separately or leave the rim on and paint it as you paint the jar. Let dry completely, then apply your graphic with a light film of glue. (you can also print them on sticker paper that has the self adhesive already on the back) Then either brush or sponge on Mod Podge. I used the gloss and completely covered the jar with the Mod Podge to give it a nice shine. I cut a round piece of felt the size of the jar bottom and glued it on the bottom. Embellish with a ribbon, raffia or whatever you like. The jar will not hold but a dozen or so tissues, maybe a few more. To load them pull up the top tissue diagonally to one corner and roll the tissues leaving the top corner sticking out. Insert in the jar and they are ready to use.
