Baby food jar centerpiece

The only concern for a home designer is: is there enough room for a creative idea? Do you have the right materials and decor?

And we have enough ideas, because tin cans can be turned into single useful objects or more complex decorative structures.

For making beautiful storage containers one can is enough.

You will also need white or matching acrylic paint, pieces of lace, cord, dry flowers and seeds, various decorations and glue, hot or instant. nine0003

Let's paint the jar and wait for the paint to dry. Glue lace to the upper edge from the outside. Let's lay out the decor on the table and decide in what order we will stick it. In this case, the setting time of the adhesive must be taken into account.

Very beautiful jars decorated in decoupage technique.

For the shabby chic style you will need white, pink, peach, blue delicate colors and pictures for decoupage (napkins, thin fabric) with small flowers or small bouquets. You can “decoupage” not only a jar, but also a blank, previously pasted over in a spiral with twine, but this option will require experience and skill. nine0062

If you decorate 6 jars using this technique, you will get an excellent bathroom organizer.

For the base, we will select a piece of plywood or drywall with a thickness of at least 1 cm, 45x60 cm in size, prepare acrylic paints (white will be needed most of all, for a primer), brushes, a roller, pictures, braid (tape), decor and a glue gun with rods.

Paint the jars with white acrylic and leave to dry. With small sharp scissors, we cut out flowers or other pictures, which, after the paint dries, we glue on the jars. We outline the contours of the pictures with a thin brush, you can add additional patterns in the form of curls, hearts, dots. nine0003

After the previous layers and objects have dried, glue small decor, decorate the edge with decorative tape, cord.

Let's paint the rectangular base with acrylic paint of the same color as the cans, white in our example, and make the end part pink.

To attach the finished cells to the plywood base, and the base to the wall, you will need a drill, screws and strong male hands. Our task is to pre-determine a place on the wall where the organizer needs to be hung. It is convenient to place towels, a hair dryer and other necessary items in the cells. nine0062

cans can be made into sectional storage skeins of yarn, container for bags, plastic spoons and forks for a picnic, pencil holder , scissors and other stationery on the desktop, scarf organizer on the wardrobe shelf, soap container and shampoo in the bathroom.

We choose the way of decoration depending on our imagination. turn banks into flower pots is as easy as shelling pears - we punch holes in the bottom, paint the surface in the desired color, plant flowers. Using a hook or wire, we hang the plants on the wall, fence. nine0062

Advanced craftsmen will cope with mosaic decoration of containers . For the mosaic, we will select glass pebbles (available in the garden-garden departments of household supermarkets), buttons, a mix of the remains of small beads and beads, pieces of ceramic tiles or porcelain, as well as a set of “unnecessary” items from a chest of drawers in the country.

If the mosaic decor is covered with gold or bronze acrylic paint, you get a real masterpiece. To give the coating a touch of antiquity, first cover the base with black paint, then decorate the protruding parts with a bronze tint. nine0003

Garden candlestick we will make by perforating the walls of the can, outside we will paint the surface to our liking. In such a container, you can put not only candles, but also mount lamps, but for this you need to observe safety when working with electricity.

Useful cans and for children's games : we will make a sorter toy out of them so that the child can pick up objects under the corresponding holes and throw them into a jar (the edges must be processed so as not to get hurt!), a garage for small cars, a train, stilts, funny little men. nine0003

There is a place for jars in the country: as a stand for dishes, containers for bulk products and spices. We cut the twigs with pruners, glue them to the jar, tie them with twine - we get a chic eco-vase for wild flowers. Still have jars left? Let's make a bird feeder and a decorative bee so that no one picks our cherries in the garden.

After that, you can decorate them as you wish, using various materials.

Here is a selection of creative baby food jar ideas that you can use to make unique, original and useful household items.

Handy spice jars.
Agree that storing spices in retail packaging is not the best solution. Making a convenient container for spices from jars is not difficult. Just peel off the labels and instead stick labels with the designation of the contents. You can go even simpler and sign the lids. Those who love creative solutions can decorate the jars to their taste with the help of ribbons, painting or decoupage. nine0003

Gift box for sweets.
Decorate the jars to your taste (eg with coarse ropes and colored cloth) and get a beautiful gift box. Pour colored dragees or small sweets into the container - an unusual surprise for the sweet tooth is ready.

Jars can also be used for jam, honey or marmalade. A great way to beautifully present homemade sweets to friends and family. Attach small paper cards to the jars, on which you can write information about the contents or a sincere wish. Decorate mugs with beautiful napkins and ribbons. nine0003

Pencils.
Paint the jars in different colors and, when the paint dries well, place pencils and felt-tip pens in them.
Jars can also be used for other office supplies.

Needle beds.
Pour colored buttons into the jars, and glue homemade pads made of foam rubber covered with colored fabric on the lids. The original is sure to come in handy for those who are fond of needlework. nine0003

Christmas decorations.
To make an analogue of a snow globe, you need to fill the jar with small sparkles, beads, artificial snow or crushed foam and pour water. Add 1 tablespoon of glycerin to make our "snowflakes" swirl with movement. You can take more glycerin, then the particles will float in the water more slowly. As a decor, use any New Year's toy - it must be glued to the lid.

Flower vases.
Wonderful vases for small short bouquets are obtained by simply placing flowers in jars. You can dream up a little and add decor compositions.

Candlesticks.
Beautifully decorated jars can be wonderful candle holders that will decorate any occasion. At the bottom of the jar you need to pour sand, and place a small tea candle on top. The design depends on your imagination and skills: it can be as simple as possible or more inventive. nine0003

Hairpins, buttons, sewing accessories, carnations and other household items are very conveniently stored in baby food jars. Jars can be glued with lids to the shelf - then they will definitely not be lost and will always be in sight.
