Altered item - glass baby fruit jar

Let me start today by admitting 1 of my guilty pleasures, every now and then I just love to eat baby fruit. I can't help it, don't want to do anything about it and just accepted it :-)

A couple of months ago I started cleaning the jars when they were empty and kept them to storage small embellishments, like wood veneers. Lately I realized that these glass jars are easy to alter into a tiny small vase too. So I gave it a shot and went cutting some strips of paper from the Amy Tangerine Yes, Please collection. I handstitched them together and wrapped it around the jar with double sided tape. I finished it by adding a cluster of some bits and remarks from the Yes, Please collection and also used the stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

  7. Funny when I was growing up my bff and I used to also buy baby food (mostly the fruits) to eat like candy. I hear your confession and accept it.
