Another MacKenzie-Childs Knockoff!

This time I wanted to imitate the retired buttercup pattern. I have the covered baking pan and the squash pot, so I thought I would see if I could make a canister:

I bought a glass canister with a wooden lid, similar to this, at the thrift store for $.49:

I "yanked" the wooden knob off the top, "pried" off the plastic seal and primed and painted the wooden lid with white paint:

I scrubbed and sterilized the jar and set it aside:

I bought rub-on decals for $.49 at Michael's, similar to the flower pattern on original MacKenzie Childs Buttercup pattern, and rubbed them onto the wood:

The flower pattern is different, however the colors are the same:

I used my pot lid so I could imitate the polka dots:

I painted an old wooden bead a similar green to that of the original and then pulled out my old trims and beads. The gold crown piece is actually a M-C piece from their old Odds and Ends store:

I stacked everything onto the wooden lid and adhered with super glue:

And here is my version of the Buttercup pattern:

Not too shabby, huh? And my investment was only $.98 and an hour of my time:
