Hello, this is a jar I decorated for my Nephew Jack who's turning 4! All kids love dinosaurs & I thought these gourmet jelly beans looked like dinosaur eggs!
The stamps I used are from H&MStamps, and the set is 'A dino day'.
I dry embossed the top of the trees & the dinosaur with CB EF folders, and then I heat embossed with clear EP.
I sponged lots of edges. Used the nestability circles for the top, and rectangles for the sides.
I used 2 types of ribbon & cord to tie around the jar & hang the picture & his name tag. I was going for a rustic look, so it's supposed to look messy!
At first I was going to make everything removeable, incase my SIL wanted to wash the jar at some point, but I decided it was easier to stick everything down. The ribbon is held on with SU clear glue dots, and I used terrifically tacky tape to attached the top circles & the side picture.
I hope he likes it, we're going to his Birthday party today!
TFL
