I decided to decorate them with scrap book paper, ribbon, string and buttons. Here’s how I made my decorative jars: I first picked out my scrap book paper. I then went searching for some embellishments to make the overall design more fun and interesting. I cut each paper into the height I wanted and also made the width sized to fit around the jars.
