RemARKable Going Green Blog Tour – Day 1 recycling baby food jar and general food international container
Welcome back for another RemARKable tour. The tour will take you to fellow RemARKable demonstrators blogs with projects made with a Going Green theme. This theme was left open for our interpretation of what going green is. I am excited to see everyones interpretation of the theme, as well as the projects. You are sure to find something to be inspired by. Check back daily over the next 3 days where we will be posting new projects every day.
I have been saving General foods international coffee containers and this theme helped to inspire me to make something with the containers.
I took DSP from shades of spring and then covered the can and embellished the front with stamp from the Eggcoutraments stamp set that is available in the Stampin Up occasions mini catalog. I made some 3×3 cards to go in the container and this will be one of my door prizes for an upcoming workshop.
The next project originally was created by fellow team member Jennifer Spencer. I love how she used an old baby food jar and made the top into a pin cushion. I embellished the front with a flower that I punched out with the new Extra large flower punch on page 10 of the occasions mini and used a flower brad from pg 179 of the big idea book and catalog. I am storing the rest of the flower brads and filigree brads in them . I want to make more of these jars and store my buttons and other assortments of brads.
