Ever see those cute Oui yogurts in the store and wonder what you could do with those jars!

Well here are some ideas using paint and lids to help spark your creativity...

In this project we painted the jars (see gallery below), decorated it with jute and embellishments, and gave it a lid.

Steps:

• First, be sure to thoroughly clean your jar. Soap and water will work. If there is residue from labels or the foil on top, Goo Gone works well to remove.

• Next put painters tape around the lid top (picture of this step in the gallery).

• Hold the jar by the inside and rub down the outside with rubbing alcohol. This will get all oils off and allow the paint to stick well.

• Then place the jar upside down on top of something you don't mind getting paint on. I used an empty Parmesan cheese can with cardboard underneath (picture of this step in gallery).

• Then spray your jar evenly in one or two coats and let dry overnight.

• Once dry, tie your jute with embellishments around the top.

• For the lid, drill a hole in the center of the wooden lid and attach a mini drawer pull.

Materials needed:

• I used a smaller dessert Oui jar, but the regular size would work just as well.

• Paint. I used Krylon Stained Glass and Sea Glass spray paint.

  • I recommend taking a trip to Micheals or Hobby Lobby to pick out the ones you like.

• I also got a set of silver and gold... can't find the exact one I got, but should be easy to find in a search.

• Mini drawer pulls - these are so cute!! Here are the ones that are pictured:

• Lids: The specific one I used is well made, but kind of expensive. Definitely would search around and find one that works for you.
