Up-cycled Vase

While rinsing out an empty jar of pizza sauce to throw in the recycle bin, I realized that I like the size and shape of it and it would be a perfect vase for the little bouquets of posies that I like to buy at my local farmer's market.





  • I peeled off the label and removed the adhesive residue by soaking it in soapy water 
  • I used black Stazon ink and the En Français background stamp
  • I rolled the jar over the stamp which covered about half the jar
  • I re-inked the stamp and rolled it a second time to cover the other half
  • I tied a ribbon around the top, filled it with water and flowers.
Things to keep in mind:  Don't fret if your stamp doesn't come off perfectly or your edges overlap, etc.  This is a pizza sauce jar.  And now it's a pretty vase.  No worries.
