Altered Mason Jars

Hello, fellow crafters, today I am here to share with you two of the alterd Mason Jars I have created for a fall bazzar. 

These are two of the Mason Jars,
I first placed the candle stick on the base of the mason jar, then colored the jars a light yellow, using food coloring & mod podge. Let them dry. Then I cut from graphic 45 paper 3 1/2" X 12" paper. One jar I used Old Curoisty Shop & the other I used the French Country.  


I added a hand crafted flower to the center front of the jar, adding embelishments to the front of the flower as well as tucked in behind the flower. This jar I placed a key & lock from Gina's, then stuffing behind the flower, a dress form, an antique chair,  durby hat & a top hat & flourishes. along with tags from the paper line,  finished the jar wit a black ribbon tied into a bow on the rim of the lid.

Jar #2
I added a hand crafted flower to the center front of the jar, adding embelishments to the front of the flower as well as tucked in behind the flower. as I did on the first jar.  Stuffing behind the flower, a dress form,  durby hat & a top hat & wings. along with tags from the paper line,  finished the jar wit a black ribbon tied into a bow on the rim of the lid, and trim on the top & bottom of the paper. The bottom trim is from Craftsupplies1. It is a box pleated organza trim.
