Eco Craft Organization

If you are visiting from Funky Junk's Link Party #64 welcome!!!

The inspiration for this project came from:

1. a post by Seleta on how she made an eco craft center for her kids using old jam jars; and a

2. a post by Junk Mammas on how they used chalkboard paint to label sundry pantry items.

3. a nagging stash of jars, cans, and various vessels with lids. 

I cleaned up some of the jars (the White Linen Marinara Sauce jars were all the same size) and created some chalkboard paint "labels" using Plaid's red Chalkboard Paint.

I Modge Podged the top of each jar with some pretty paper (Tangerine Stripes from Treehouse Designs).

and used an Uchida Bistro Chalk Marker to label each jar.

Here is the final product

I plan on making more (because they are desperately needed). 

I am really pleased with the way this project turned out.

That's the scoop! Happy Monday!  I hope to have a couple of other re-purposing posts this week.
