I was a busy momma this weekend! K went and spent the weekend with my parents. I did a TON of baking, see my blog on that HERE, and I made an adorable container for Bubba's wipe solution.
It was really easy to make. The pictures of the process didn't turn out so great (I'm not the best photographer in the world, but I'm working on it), so I'll just tell you what I did. :)
Materials needed:
Glass or plastic jar with a lid (I used a peanut butter jar)
12"x12" scrap book paper
Alphabet stickers (optional)
Glue stick
Triple Thick
Paper cutter (optional)
Medium, flat paint brush
Process:
Cut the scrapbook paper the width you need it to cover most of your jar. Make sure that you note any curvature in the jar because it's hard to glue paper to the curves. My jar was too wide so I needed to glue two strips of paper together so it was long enough to cover the entire jar. If you need 2 strips, cut both strips and then glue them together using your glue stick. Next put glue on 3" of the jar (or the paper). Make sure the paper is straight. This was the hardest part for me. Then glue a bit more at a time until the entire jar is covered. I had my papers overlapping by about an inch and a half, but you could do more or less. Next put the stickers on. Finally cover the entire paper with triple thick. Mine needed 2 coats of triple thick on most of it and 3 coats on the top and bottom of the paper.
I am hoping to eventually get to a craft store and buy some 1 inch ribbon (I didn't have any that matched my paper) to put around the lid of the jar so it looks prettier (it's red and doesn't really match). I'm also going to try to cut out a piece of scrapbook paper in a circle, print the wipe solution recipe on it and glue that to the top of the lid. When/if I ever get that done I'll post more pictures.
I'll post my wipe recipe soon. I have to go finish school for K. :)
Happy Crunching!
