Mason Jar Organizer

Wow, its been awhile!  I've been busy.  I thought I would post something I created for our booth, a Mason jar desk organizer.

 

I found 3 of these jars at a flea market but they did not have the wire part to hold the glass lid on. I knew I could use the lids on other jars so I bought them. The wire basket I got at a yard sale a couple of weeks later, not even thinking about putting the jars in it.  Well, sometimes good ideas just happen! I added some jute like twine to the area on the jars where the holes were for the wire.
This could also be used to hold silverware, sewing supplies.....ect....

By the way the Booth is going great, and that's why I haven't had time to post along with Christmas and Life! 

Have a Great New Year!

Sock Monkey

 

Today at a yard sale I got a free sock monkey!  After looking around at the yard sale I decides notheing was there for me as I was leaving the lady said, check out the free boxes and take somethig home with you.  I stopped and looked just being polite, there under a bunch of normal stuffed animal was this sock monkey, I pulled him out and the lady said his ear needs fixed, do you sew? I said yes I do, the hole was behind his ear and only about an inch long. She also said her soon was afraid of him, I find that funny cause I hate monkeys too! But sock monkeys are fun!

Can you find all the subtle changes I made to him?

 

 

1. I took off both ears, took some of the stuffing out and repostioned them on his head.
2. I used the excess stuffing from the ears to put in the hat.
3. Made his neck more defined by adding a tighter yarn.
4. took a pompom off his belly and added it to his arm, he was missing his right arm pompom.and repotioned them higher on his arm.
5. And the most subtle of a change was trimming all his pompoms!

Booth Update

Our booth is doing great! Its really fun finding treasures and cleaning then up and waitinng for them to sell.

 

Here is a frame I got for free, it is peeling away and was perfect for the spider web teatment. thumb tacks on back with string strung around. I added a spider for fun!

Belt Chair

Here is a chair that I used old belts to weave a new seat.

A friend of mine got some ladies together one afternoon and showed us how to put it all together!

I want to do more, it is fun collecting the belts and weaving them!

They are buckeled underneath, some had to get neww holes in them and extra length was cut off.

Another Vintage Purse

While I was making this purse I got the idea that this could be used for a Vintage inspired wedding as a dollar dance money collector!

Giving New Life to An Old Frame

I saw this on pinterest too. I used wire then covered it with coffee stained cheesecloth.

And added a cheesecloth bow and rusty heart.

Tiny clothes pins hold the photos.

I first measured about 4 1/2 inches and put in the nails. Used some wire I had, wound it around the nails to make little washlines! Then wrapped them with the cheesecloth.

I hot glued some pieces of cheesecloth over the nails so it won't scratch the wall.

I think it would be idea for family photos, or even a collection of senior photos, or even vintage valentines in feb.  Happy Junkin!

Shipping Box

I found this at a yard sale, at first I thought it was a suitcase. When I opened it it didn't have a hinge and the top just lifted off and it had stamps in the one metal bracket and was made of heabt cardboard. I didn't see the staps right away, then I did dome research and determined it was a shipping box. It is now in our booth!

Another Purse with Photo Frame

I found this great vintage purse at a yard sale last week, I added an old photo frame and copied a fav family photo plus added a ladies hankie! Will be taking it to the booth. The photo can be changed.

I have made one of these before and adapted the original idea I saw on pinterest.

Just a Cardboard Box

A store gift box I had for a long long time, just added some vintage lace and made a zipper flower

The lace and zipper flower can be slipped off and a gift can be added!
