Let Velcro Decorate those Containers

I love card stock there are so many beautiful papers out there...ones that have glitter, metallics, wonderful patterns and more.....


Robin’s Nest is one manufacturer with beautiful papers.....as pictured above!


I decided to get out some of my papers and create something with them that I could use in my studio everyday.  I have a tendency to collect things and jars are no exception so I use jars to hold a lot of my supplies…I decided I would give them a facelift with some of my Robins Nest Card Stock…I simply  measured around the jars to be sure the 12″ x 12″ Card Stock would fit…



Then I cut for the height I needed…






Which I used to attach the card stock to the jar…


Then I over lapped the ends of the card stock about 1/2 of an inch and secured with the Velcro Brand Adhesive Dots



 I grabbed a selection of ribbons and fibers to see what I liked to go with the paper....


I choose some fibers and tied them around the jars to finish them off and filled them with supplies….above is a picture of three of my jars….I was able to do all three with just one piece of card stock….

this was so quick and simple…so what are you waiting for; grab some of your favorite card stock and Velcro Brand Adhesive Dots and Decorate those Containers!
