Bertolli Beauties

A friend of mine gave me a few Bertolli pasta sauce jars.  They have such graceful shapes - almost like an hourglass - and are embossed with "1865" and some pretty scrollwork at the top.  Often I can't use jars with embossing, as some of it's unattractive or it covers too much of the jar.  These, however, are lovely and lent themselves well to the creation of these ladies:



I started out with some vintage images of women and added some glitter to their outfits.  Then I downloaded some antique-looking labels for the backgrounds.  I added some moss at the bottom of the jars and some flowers at the top, and decoupaged an inspirational message on each.  There are crystals dangling from the top of the jars as well.  I am very happy with how they turned out!  I'm doing a craft fair this weekend, and I almost hope they don't sell because I want one for myself!
