day 16 repurposing a jar :: craft storage
i use lots & lots of jars for my craft storage, it's a fun challenge to find the perfect jar for a specific craft supply or crafting tool... that's a HUGE pickle jar (in the above photo) filled with vintage craft goodies. a few weeks ago i went to a vintage shop i'd never been to before & i bought almost all their vintage ric rac, so now all this vintage ric rac is sharing the pickle jar with bits & pieces of vintage lace & tatting (i added a lavender sachet to help with the pickle smell)
on one of the IKEA shelves in my studio: one jar for vintage knitting needles, one jar for little balls of vintage thread, one jar for vintage wooden spools, & one jar for vintage crochet hooks
in a small white cabinet: 3 shelves with 3 different sizes of Bonne Maman jars all filled with craft goodies
these 2 smaller sizes of Bonne Maman jars are just adorable ! they are the perfect size for teeny tiny craft goodies... one small ball of thread, small buttons, one small spool of thread, small safety pins and surprise ! yes, those are googly eyes - my kids like to craft, too :-)
more vintage craft goodies...
and even more vintage craft goodies
oh, wow ! these are really old... i made the tops of these jars back in 4th & 5th grade summer school ! (where all of my crafting began - look for a future post all about that)
lots of ribbon, button, & prima flower storage
tons & tons of vintage buttons !
see you tomorrow for day 17 !
Wow, everything looks so beautiful and organized. Such a neat way to display and get together all of those notions
ReplyDeleteYour supplies look delicious! I love your series here. I use jars for just about everything myself. I am coveting your button collection too :)
ReplyDeleteOf course I love each and everyone of these!!!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying all your posts but this is my favourite so far. Pretty sewing supplies on lovely shelves in sweet jars! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove these, especially the gingham jelly jars! I tend to use mine mainly for spices and food items.
