A Spicy Makeover

Inspired by Roxanne's makeovers, I decided to actually finish a project.

Remember these spice jars I picked up a while ago?

I soaked the labels off and applied new ones.

A nice improvement. I'm still not loving the color of the lids, but haven't come with any brilliant ideas yet. Any suggestions? I'm looking forward to using and displaying these. The milk glass is fabulous, and I am happy to get my spices out of plastic.

About that llama wool~ It came to me in a filthy state. A prime example of you get what you pay for. The baby's wool is crazy soft though, and for now I'm willing to work with it.

Here's what the wool looks like after picking most of the hay out~

I'm going to keep working with it until I decide I absolutely can't stand it anymore...I think it might be worth the effort.

The jars are so cute! How did you make the new labels?

I have those same jars and never even thought of making them over. I was going to put them in the yard sale!

How did you do the new labels?

That krylon plastic paint would fix the lids.

Love them!! Nice work! I don't have any great ideas for the lids either, but Sarah is right. The plastic spray paint does work really well. Good luck!

Cute jar labels - I have no idea for the lids either! That wool looks really lovely! I am sure it's worth it once you get it cleaned and carded you'll be so excited once you start spinning!

I love the jars, especially the one with the cherries. :) I can't wait to see what you come up with on the wool. There was a lady in our old neighborhood that raised goats and spun her own wool. I just loved looking at her equipment and how homespun it all was.
