Scrapbook in a Jar Craft

Submitted by Kathryn
From Kathryn: "I made this for a dollar store challenge with a Spring theme earlier this year, but one of the comments I received on my blog summed it up better as being a 'Scrapbook in a Jar' and a vacation or special time in someone's life could be immortalized by adding a picture with related items to a jar like a time capsule."

What Kathryn used to make her Spring Scrapbook In a Jar:

  • Blue Star Shaped Glass Stones ("To represent water from all the spring rain - we have a lot of flooding in the Spring where I live").
  • Scrapbook Stickers ("I chose these because they reminded more more of things my son does and things we see - our local zoo opens in the Spring and they have train that we always would ride, my son uses his skateboard on the sidewalk, the net for when he used to go fishing with his Grandpa before he passed away, and bugs").
  • Easter Grass ("To represent the grass getting greener and growing").
  • Flowers ("To represent the flowers that start to grow").

As an added bonus, the items she used in this project were all bought at the dollar store!
