A Fun Little Craft Project for You!!

I remember being so disappointed when Gerber started using little plastic boxes for their baby food instead of glass jars. I loved using all of those little glass jars for craft projects and I was afraid that eventually you wouldn't be able to find them anymore. But alas, here we are 5 years and another baby later and Beechnut still sells their food in glass jars. But anyway, one day while shopping I couldn't find what I was looking for in the Beechnut brand and so I had to buy Gerber in one of those dreaded plastic containers. After the food was gone I thought "hey...these are kinda cute" and I washed it out and saved it. So...that brings me to my craft project(finally! whew...I got a little off track there...sorry)

Here are the containers before

And then... I painted the little boxes and lids pink. I decoupaged some reproductions of vintage postcards to the lids and added a little glitter(of course...I LOVE glittery sparkly things) Then I dipped the bottoms and sides of the boxes in some shimmery glass glitter and added a few ribbons and pearls. There you go! Gerber would be proud!!

The one on the right with the blue background has a picture of a fairy and a little boy floating through the stars while sitting on a pillow. It doesn't show in the picture but on the side of the box I added:

Through a sea of stars we float

With a pillow for a boat

Off to dreamland every night

There and back by candle light.
