What about those pre-teen, teenage boys? Whew! they are hard to craft for, don’t you think? Well here is a candy jar made out of a mason jar that can also be used as a bank after it is empty or it can hold any number of things. Stampin’ Up! has this great single stamp called “Extreme Skate Board” which is really fun to create those hard teenage boy things. Also, doesn’t everyone have a canning jar hiding in the back of the cabinet that needs re-purposed? If you don’t check out garage sales where you can find them real cheap.
Now before I start the tutorial let me announce this weeks blog candy winner!

Brayered Daffodil Delight Ink on the right side of a 4″ x 11″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Brayered Pumpkin Pie in on, not covering the Daffodil Delight ink entirely.
Brayered Cajun Craze ink on, not covering the Pumpkin Pie ink entirely.
Flipped the card stock around and brayered Marina Mist ink on the card stock, just meeting the Daffodil Delight ink in the middle.
Punched a 1 3/4″ circle from a post it note and used it as a mask for the moon.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink on, not covering the Marina Mist ink entirely.
Brayered Night of Navy ink on, not covering the Not Quite Navy ink entirely.
Sponged Old Olive ink on the bottom of the card stock creating some hills. Also took the moon mask off.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock, not covering the Old Olive ink entirely.
Using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement, stamp the skateboarder 4 times at different angles using Basic Black ink.
Stamped the fairy dust from the Stampin’ Up! set A Little Bit of Magic using Basic Black ink.
Tore a bit of card stock off of the bottom and the top of the main image panel.
Added Basic Black and Cajun Craze Card stock panels. Glued them together.
Held both ends of the panels together and put small holes along the edge using my Crop o dile.
Wrapped the panels around the Mason Jar and laced Basic Black ribbon up the back. This panel can is easy to remove in orde to clean the jar.
Added Basic Black and Pumpkin pie ribbon to the neck of the jar. Added Basic Black and Cajun Craze star punches using silver brads to hold them on.
Traced around the inside of the lid on Marina Mist card stock.
Cut the circle out and added Basic Black and Cajun Craze Star Punches.
Adhered the Marina Mist circle to the inside of the jar lid using Mini Glue Dots.
Here is the finished jar.
These jar covers are fun to make and you could create one for you house and create a different scene for each season. 🙂
I hope this has inspired you to dust off a mason jar and give it a try.
May your day be filled with belly laughs.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
