For today’s share I wanted to use the Mini Jam Jars and decorate it with the Ever Eden 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
To do this I cut two strips of the DSP and one strip of Evening Evergreen Cotton Paper. These three strips were cut to different widths. Then I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the paper.
I used the border die from the Eden Dies to cut each of the layers. After peeling away the adhesive sheet backing I layered the die cut pieces and then wrapped them around the jar.
The Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was perfect to tie around the base of the jar.
For the lid of the jar I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scalloped circle in gold Metallic Specialty Paper and a slightly smaller circle in one of designs from the DSP.
I made the looped decoration for the lid by cutting a 12″ length of Soft Succulent Cotton Paper that is 3″ wide. Tear & Tape Adhesive was added to one of the 12″ sides of the paper. The paper was turned over and another length of Tear & Tape was attached to the opposite side.
Using a cutting blade and metal ruler the cotton paper was cut in quarter inch increments along the full 12″ length. When all the cuts were finished I removed the backing from one of the Tear & Tape strips. I folded the paper over and joined the two sides being careful not to pinch a crease into the loops.
The backing from the second strip of Tear & Tape and then rolled the length of loops to create the decoration. After teasing the loops open I attached the decoration to the jar lid.
Then I cut five of the leaves from the same gold paper and tucked them under the loops.
The jar is perfect for storing sweet treats.
This was a fun project to make and I was so pleased by how well the Adhesive Sheets secured the die cut layers to the jar.
Until next time, happy paper crafting.
