Amanda, i would like to thank you for posting my creation to your site! I also need to say that my site is a two language site, Greek and English, so don’t be afraid to have a look at it if you don’t know Greek! Every text is translated in English! 🙂 Happy crafts!
You’re welcome, thank you for the lovely project!
Thanks so much! I’m about to search through the jar collection and get started right away. The seniors I work with would love, love, love to make these.
Very cute idea. I did click the translate button at the top right corner of the page 😉
Great gift idea!
Thanks for sharing.
Love this idea, will show it to my daughter who is 15 and likes to paint. Also for any site which is not in English, you can go to google translate and get the translate button. It works to any language. I love it!
