Since I'd never made one before, I had never really seen one I headed to the usual place for some inspiration. Actually I wasn't blown away with what I found.
In my mind if you are having something to sit on your self for a year and record all your lovely memories and things your are Thankful for then you want it to be a lovely thing! So I cracked on.
I made two for Christmas gifts for my lovely friends Debbie and Del and then the 2 that was ordered.
Of course I then wanted one for myself.
My coffee jars are mainly sourced from Jo at work so as a little thank you I made her one last weekend. It's sat on her desk at work for a couple of days and now I have an order for 2 more and potentially another 10. Here is the latest one made for Jo.
They have all been slightly different and with each one I just love them more and more. If you have an empty jar and a few bits and bobs and a couple of hours then have a go at making your very own memory jar.
Dies used for this project include a Tattered Lace die for the band round the jar and Tonic dies for the tags and alphabets, the flower is a Sizzix bigz die. The lush effect on the flower comes from the Indigo Blue pixi powders.
Happy Crafting x
