Don’t Throw These Away — Try This Instead

It’s easy to overlook everyday items when crafting, but sometimes the simplest things can be transformed into something both practical and decorative. In this project, I upcycle old jars into small storage containers using resin and a range of finishing techniques. Along the way, I explore different decorative approaches, including transfer designs, pressed elements, and themed effects, to show how varied the results can be.
