Hi Friends,
Thank you so much for your
prayers concerning my husbands' surgery!
He's resting and doing well.
The first part is not true, he never rests.
My job for now is keeping him from doing too much!
I decided to try and do something crafty today :)
These jars came from Dollar tree and they are still available-
I found these apothecary labels
at The Graphic Fairy.
https://thegraphicsfairy.com/old-fashioned-apothecary-labels/
I used MOD PODGE to adhere the labels.
To age the lids, I added cinnamon!
It's the perfect trick to make faux Rust.
Use white glue or podge podge on edges and creases
where you would naturally find rust.
Add cinnamon using a dry brush like applying makeup.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you for visiting-
Hugs!

If you liked the rust technique...here's another!
I love the cinnamon hint. Would like to try it on some Halloween jars! I swear, though, I spend half my life (a great exaggeration!) trying to scrub rust (and crud) off of stuff!
ReplyDeleteKathy,
DeleteSo true! Great for Halloween jars or plastic buckets or chains...good thinking.
Hugs, Lisa S
You are so clever. I like how those jars look. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie!

We must have the same taste in labels, your little jars are adorable so I pinned them, and I have the same variety set of black labels I use in my pantry, and I love those too. Our husbands must be brothers as well, rest is a four letter word.

How did you dull the shine on the lids of the jars? I have the exact same ones and was curious about what technique you used on yours before applying the cinnamon (rust)?
ReplyDeleteMy Dollar Tree had two choices of lids. You can use steel wool on the lids to dull the shine.
DeleteI hope that helps.
Hugs,Lisa S
Very clever project and it looks so vintage afterwards. Thanks for sharing. #HomeMattersParty

Bev,
DeleteI appreciate you so much!
Thank you, I 'll be there-
Hugs, Lisa S
Does it stay on if you touch it much. It looks great. I love graphics fairy. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes, it does stay on well. If your jars get a lot of use you can cover the 'rust' with MATTE Mod Podge. If you get tired of the look you can remove with steel wool.
DeleteHugs! Lisa S
Very clever rustic technique and such cute apothecary jars!
