GALVANIZED MASON JARS MADE WITH TOYS



I HAVE SEEN THESE FOLLOWING 
REPURPOSING OF TOY PLASTIC ANIMALS
ON PINTEREST..
  

  



AND I WANTED TO DO MY OWN VERON
AND USE MASON JARS!

I STARTED OUT WITH PLAIN MASON 
JARS WITH METAL LIDS, SOME
E6000 GLUE, OLD PLASTIC
TOY ANIMALS,METAL NUMBERS AND SOME 
HAMMERED STEEL PAINT- TO SPRAY
ALL OVER FOR THE GALVANIZED LOOK~
   

I FOUND THESE ANIMALS AND THE
NUMBERS AT THE THRIFT STORE THEY
WERE ONLY A FEW DOLLARS FOR 2 BIG 
BAGS OF STUFF!

AND WHAT I ENDED UP WITH WAS
THESE BEAUTIES!

FIRST THE I MADE A
ZOO SERIES




AND THEN THE NUMBER SERIES

YOU CAN PUT WHAT EVER YOU WANT IN
THEM, I PUT SOME OFFICE SUPPLIES 
AND ODDS AND ENDS HERE'S
SOME MORE PIC'S I TOOK QUITE A FEW.














I ADORE THESE LITTLE JARS AND
I DID SOME WITH MY NEPHEW TODAY
I'LL POST A PIC WHEN THEY DRY, ITS
A GREAT PROJECT TO DO WITH THE KIDS..

    I love this idea! So very cute. I'm a teacher and you are so right, this is perfect for the kids to do. After all, Mother's Day is right around the corner. Those number ones are calling my name!!! Way cool.

  8. This is SO SO cute! I can't believe how cute these are! I LOVE the animals and am thinking that my 21 year old girls would love something like this! They were/are huge lovers of the owls and giraffes (go figure) so I pinned this to my Christmas Gift board to make some for them!

  14. What an amazingly clever way to re-purpose cheap plastic toys and other items! They look like something from an upscale boutique.
