That's how my project, to share with you today, came to mind, but only when I was going to get rid of it after we had eaten the strawberries, why oh! why can't I be clever as some of you can be and see it BEFORE I buy, in fact as they were available for a few weeks I bought a few, while available, so have a few to play with Yippee! LOL. OK enough waffle, be ready for a picture heavy post.
I bought reduced Kilner jars for 75p each, the free? box, I already had some acrylic paint with which I painted the box, (hubby didn't want "paint effects" in the kitchen and as he spends a lot of time in it, I thought I would be kind and listen to him LOL.) The whole thing cost me £3. All enough for our favourite teas.
Earl Grey Tea - Top hat Hugware
Blackcurrant Tea - image from web
Lapsang Souchong Tea - Chinese character, meaning Tea, from web
Pear & Caramel Tea - pear Gingersnaps, caramel chocolate Gina Jane
all printed and laminated, cut with Tonic circle die.
I may add something to the box, but I quite like the plain white - for now.
Before work
Prepared box, you can see the pretty shape of the box
Cutting the printed labels, which were glued into the top with the seal ring.
I also made front labels for the jars.
Finished top and box

I love this idea, Faith. What a marvelous way to store the teas (or any of a dozen other things!) I wish my local markets had those MDF boxes. I'd by them by the dozens. :-D
Such a clever idea and great use of that box...bet the strawberries where good too x
How clever to think of doing this Faith,great recycling too 😀 Viv xx
Wow, Faith, what a brilliant idea! I've never seen Pear and Caramel Tea, but it sounds delish - I must look out for some!
love Mags B x
A great storage idea Faith x
What an entirely adorable idea Faith!! Love those labels you made, such a great little set!! I think I would totally use something like this to organize some of my embellishments! Gold, silver, bronze and white...perfect!! Very creative, I love this!!
I've missed so many of your posts Faith, I'm so sorry. I wish I could leave a comment on every card you've posted, but my time is short today. Just popped in to say hello and I hope you are enjoying a wonderful springtime! sending hugs :)
What a super idea Faith. I've not heard of Pear and Caramel tea either. I remember a time when you could only buy strawberries in cardboard containers - so much nicer than plastic.
What a great find in the box and your jars look fab in it too. Lovely labels.
