“Springtime Jars of Joy”
By Vanessa Spencer & Sarah Meehan
Create an easy spring project using our baby chicks and storage jars! Simply paint the jar lids with white acrylic paint and allow to dry. Then decorate the lids with your favorite ribbon in springtime shades. Add any buttons or flower embellishments to the lid for a fanciful look. Decorate the inside of the jars with your favorite ephemera. To add some interest to the outside of the jars try using some Basic Grey white rub-ons. Decorate the baby chicks as you desire. Sarah used blue ribbon to give hers a sweet and simple touch that coordinates with the blue ribbon on the lid. Vanessa used yellow acrylic paint for one of her chicks and for the pink chick she covered it in a soft pink glitter! These storage jars by Making Memories are great – made of plastic instead of glass so they are easy to work with and very safe. Add any interesting bits and pieces to your project for some springtime flair. See our list of products below that Vanessa and Sarah used for this project:
