Recycled Candle Jar Lid Paperweight
9:28 AM Posted In Recycled Candle Jar Lid Paperweight Edit This 8 Comments »
1. Recycle a glass lid from a used/discarded jar candle. Remove the plastic ring from the lid and discard it.
2. Stamp the Michael Strong Stamps Cloisonné Circle image and cut it out.
3. Push the image into the lid. It will bend and curl to fit inside the opening.
4. Tie ribbon around the side of the lid. Fill the opening wih clear plastic pony beads.
5. Punch a circle from cardstock, making sure the circle size is appropriate for the opening. Glue the circle to the glass rim with fabric glue.
6. Stamp, color and cut out the circle image again and attach it to the cardstock on the bottom for a “reversible” paperweight (see example on finished “bottom view”).

Kathie,
I always check all the blogs that our co-scrappers send, and even though I am rarely so enthusiast to do / scraplift any of their shown work despite the fact that most of them look beautiful and well done.
But have to admit for once this project you showing us is not only is F A B U L O U S but very clever. I reaaaaaaaaally want and can't wait to make a similar one. Although I do not have this Michael Strong Stamp (as a matter of fact I do not owe any of them - shame on me!) but I can draw something similar or at least something I like.
Again thank you for this project and mostly for the tutorial, I was inspired of doing "my own" .
I admire as well, other projects on your blog. Two thumbs up for you and as my father would say : YOU ROCK!
