finial topped jars

Sifting through a box of clutter in my crafting room, I came upon a glass apothecary jar top.  I’d set the pretty lid aside a few months ago after moving the oversized jar into the living room to hold some antique treasures.

I’m wanting to set up a little sewing corner in this room, so I took an old cookie tin, added assorted spools of thread and placed the glass apothecary cover on top.  The mismatched look whisks me right back to childhood.

So then I started thinking:  why not add finial adorned tops to some of the other supply jars here in the crafting room?  But of course – fabulously easy and oh-so-crafty!

I wanted the lids to fit loosely, so they will lift off the jars easily, rather than twisting off.  So I gently flattened the inside lip of the jar lids with pliers.  presto.

Next, the fun part–selecting embellishments.  Stacks of buttons.  Brightly colored paint.  So many sparkly options!

A touch of imagination combined with a few dots of gorilla glue.

This so feeds into my obsession for hoarding jars.

Because there are sure to be more of these fun finial toppers on the way 🙂

Thank you for dropping by!
