Bloggers Challenge - Recycle

This week's challenge was to recycle something - another card, a piece of something...anything really.  I've been saving this giant pickle jar for a year now, waiting for something to do with it.  Perfect for this challenge!

I had the idea to make it into a big mummy to put candy in.  The jar is about 18" tall.  I got some of that self-adhesive bandage stuff and wrapped it around and around.  I did anchor it with several strips of Sticky Strip going from the top of the jar down to the bottom.  I put 6 or 8 strips like that on the jar itself, so the bandage stuff would stick to it.

Finished it off with some wonky punched out eyeballs.

No stamping at all this week!
