I wanted a few of these cookie jars, but they cost $45.00 ea:
So, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought 2 cookie jars for $3.99 (on sale 2 for 1).
I painted black and white checks on the lids
A few years ago I went to the MacKenzie-Childs Odds and Ends store in Aurora and bought some beads and gold trims for cents. I knew that someday I would "need" them.
So I stacked them and created "handles"
Now I have 2 cookie jars that resemble the M-C originals!

The cookie jars are wonderful. My DIL loves Mackenzie-Childs but the prices make it prohibitive for her to own but a few pieces. Looks like I found a project I can make for her b'day. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Great job!!! I can learn from you girl. I found you from Make it for Monday. I am your newest follower!!! I can't wait to see what you do next!
ReplyDeleteYay, Patti! I love having everything on hand for such a great transformation. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic. I love the way the look. Great idea..the handles you created are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how cute are these?! I wish I had the counter space for something like this. I would love to keep my kids' goodies in there rather than all over my kitchen. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment - had to check out your blog! How creative you are with the canisters - I can't wait to check out the rest of your creativity!
ReplyDeleteClever girl! These are darling. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteThese lool GREAT! I love anything by MacKenzie Childs. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteoh I love Mackenzie Childs stuff! I like to do the checks too...these look great
ReplyDeleteI really like the way your cookie jars turned out. I have purchased quite a bit of her things but now that life has changed I will be making the rest of them... :) do you suppose you could tell us how you got those checks so perfect looking? Please? I could make some for Christmas presents. Thanks and especially thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Patti, I'm featuring your Mackenzie-Child cookie jars tomorrow night (Monday) at Project Queen's #8 Highlight Party!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking them up. Hope you come back this week for another fun party!

These look awesome, Patti.
ReplyDeleteI am still looking for beads and gold trim but haven't found any I can afford. I ended up putting white knobs on my glass jars you painted lids for...they look really good but not like they should. :)

these so look like the real deal!) chris
ReplyDeleteHi! I know this is an old post, but I just had to come see when I visited your blog and saw the heading.. I am a fan of MacKenzie Childs, too!
ReplyDeleteI just painted salt and pepper grinders like this, and the cookie jars would be a fun addition! Thanks! I am definitely going to browse around your blog some more, but for now, I'm off to Hobby Lobby! LOL
They look great Patti!
