I found this cool birch paper roll at Jo Ann Fabrics the other day. I didn't know what I was going to use it for but I had a 60% off coupon and had to use it on something. :)

So I waited and shopped my home for something to cover.  this is what I found.

                            

I just wrapped the paper around the painted jar, which I had previously painted in cream chalk paint and distressed.  Hot glued the paper and then tied the jute string that actually came with the paper around the jar and hot glued a small pinecone to it.  I added some of my boxwood stems to the inside.  I love how real the paper looks and feels.  It has some patches of moss on it too.

 I hope you like it I think I will add some glitter to it for the holidays.  You know you can't have too much glitter :)
