Linda, this is adorable. And a great idea, there always seems to be loose change flying around in our dryer. I hate that noise! LOL I was really intrigued with how you attached your jar to the Aged wood. What a great idea to wrap wire around the neck of the jar. I never would have thought of that. Makes it much easier to hang on the wall to drop in the Loose Change. Love it.
Thank you Nikki! I don’t find a lot of change in my dryer I find bills, LOL. The hubby is bad about putting bills in his pockets instead of in his wallet, even this morning I found $5.OO. I have a big roll of wire, I use it a lot for attaching and hanging things.
This is so cute. But than you know I do enjoy jar crafts.
Thank you Debra! I do enjoy crafting with jars as well. Thanks for stopping by!
