Good Morning & Happy DIY Monday!
I have the easiest DIY craft for you today. One of my favorite aisles to visit when I go to a craft store is the scrapbook paper aisle. If you are looking for an inexpensive craft or a way to add something on trend into your home, scrapbook paper is an easy way to achieve it.
Today I was totally feeling this glittery python cardstock! Isn’t it fun?!
I love to wrap vases and containers in paper. It’s fast and easy to change out when you want something new. I wanted a place to store stir sticks on my bar cart. I just cleaned out an old lidded candle jar I had on hand and cut the paper to size. I used Krazy glue and attached the paper around it using the raised edges as my guide.
This could be really pretty on a desk or nightstand too. You could also just take the lid off and put some flowers in it.
Right now it is serving a purpose on our bar cart:
*If you want to purchase this same paper it is available at Michael’s Craft Stores.
Have a great day!
I’m a paper fanatic and now have a new project to add to my crafting list. Thanks for sharing!
You betcha, Shelly! I am too

Ahhh I noticed the Altuzarra (Neiman Marcus) Target 18K Gold glasses on your bar cart. I was just standing in front of them last Friday. They had them for 70% off. Love but still didn’t get them. My cabinets are overflowing
Love the python pattern on the container too.
Thanks, Julia! Yes, I had to get them when they were 70% off! They work perfect on the bar cart

What a fun update! That paper is just perfect on the bar cart.

Thanks, Sarah! Best 50 cents I have spent lately. What I love is the paper is clear-coated so it doesn’t look like paper at all. It has depth and is sleek. Never thought I would say that about cardstock! LOL xo Kristin
Ooh, that’s fancy! It’s the little things, right? (Like clear-coated paper).
Kristen-that paper is to die for! I have a handbag that looks very similar! Before I became obsessed with home DIYs (ie, before I had a house to play with!) I was a crazy scrapbooker! This project takes me back! Thanks so much for sharing. Xoxo
Hi, Sara! Too funny! I use to scrapbook too, I remember those days
xo Kristin
Perfect, it looks great
hum! I think I will get me some of this paper too!!!
YAY! It will be fun to see what you use it for
Kristin
thinking of wrapping it around a vase and storing some cute painting brushes inside the vase or just display the vase wrapped around the paper
Fun! xo Kristin
Looks great! Using it on the container was a fantastic idea!!
