DIY Animal Jar Lids- Vintage Circus Party Sneak Peek

July 31, 2012

Yesterday I grabbed up a few things from the Dollar Tree and
spray painted up a fun DIY party detail!
I needed containers for the prize table at the girls’ Vintage Circus Party coming up!
I had seen this idea of Animal Lid Jars done before but with glass.
I used plastic containers from the Dollar Store instead..
was more practical with my little ones..and cheap..
plus I didn’t have to wait till my pickle jar was empty. it could be a while. :)
As I was making these up I loved them even with just a coat of white spray paint..
they would be so cute in a nursery. But we are doing yellow and pink for their party
so I went with a yellow spray paint. Love how they turned out!!
Here’s a quick iPhone Tutorial..more cute shots to come from their party!

ANIMAL LID JAR SUPPLIES:
Animals…. Dollar Tree
Plastic Containers……Dollar Tree
Yellow Spray Paint…. Home Depot
Just a few steps and you
get these cool containers! I’m in love.
I can’t wait to share some cute up close photos from the party next month!
And I think these are going to look so adorable on a shelf in the girls’ big girl room..
filled with their small cute stuff. :)

How was your Monday?
I feel like I did equal amounts wrestling and snuggling
inbetween working on projects/work/house stuff. ;)

    I tried painting plastic animals for my daughter’s circus party– the paint on some of the them (namely the elephants from the dollar store) NEVER dried–just stayed sticky! What type of paint did you use? I’m wondering why mine didn’t dry! PS- here’s my daughter’s circus party- wish I’d stumbled upon yours while planning hers! great ideas!!! :) http://thetastefulllife.blogspot.com/2012/09/nadias-circus-party-dessert-buffet.html
