Okay, I'll admit it, I am addicted to Pinterst and don't think it is a bad thing. Inspiration is something all artists need and looking through thousands of gorgeous pictures is a perfect way to find inspiration.
I absolutely fell in love with the jar above. It was created by Layla at The Lettered Cottage as a pinterest challenge. She was inspired by the photo below.

Using Layla's instructions (found on her blog) I decided to make my own.
I used a large jar that was originally filled with artichoke hearts and changed the phrase. The stickers did come off very easily and I am pleased with the outcome.
I made a second one for the holiday's used snowflake stickers and the words "Let it snow". I didn't get the stickers quite stuck to the glass enough and to fix the problem I ended up taking a blade and scratching off the paint (It looks fine). However I decided to spray the paint outside and it was a bit too cold and the paint didn't go on smoothly. I was planning on sending it as a gift but ended up keeping it due to the mistake. I ended up tying a light blue, wide ribbon, around the jar mouth and letting the ends trail over the mistakes.
