Buzzing Bee Shaker Jar Album

Buzzing with Spring Vibes! 🐝🌼

Spring has sprung, and the bees are busy at work! With their cheerful buzz filling the air, it's the perfect time to celebrate the beauty of nature. Inspired by the vibrant hues of yellow and black, I've created a special album using the mason jar wood accoridan shaker album to capture these sweet spring moments.

This album is more than just a collection of photos; it's a visual ode to the joys of the season. Each page is adorned with whimsical embellishments and charming details, bringing to life the enchanting world of bees and blooming flowers.

So come along and join me as we embark on a journey through this delightful springtime showcase. Let's savor every moment, one buzz at a time!

Creating the Front Cover: A Step-by-Step Guide
  1. Preparing the Base: To start, I covered the front page of the album with carefully selected paper. Using the jar as a base,I traced the outline of the jar, then cut it out precisely with an X-Acto knife to achieve a clean edge.

  2. Adding Definition: To enhance the edges and give the cover a polished look, I used black Stazon ink to carefully ink the perimeter.

  3. Crafting "Dripping Honey": Using vibrant yellow card stock, I crafted a delightful "dripping honey" effect. After drawing the desired shape, I cut it out and applied yellow Stickles for a touch of shimmer and sparkle. Placing it strategically along the top edge of the jar, I glued it in place to create a honey pot "feel".

  4. Preparing the Shaker Feature: With the foundation set, it was time to focus on the shaker feature. I painted the outline shaker pieces with  black chalk paint, allowing them to dry completely.

  5. Assembling the Shaker Element: Once dried, I carefully layered the outline pieces onto the front cover, ensuring they aligned perfectly. With meticulous attention to detail, I gathered an assortment of sequins, beads, and other sparkling embellishments, adding them to the shaker component to create a dynamic and captivating visual effect.

Creating pockets for tags and photo mats adds both functionality and visual interest, giving you plenty of space to personalize your project with photos and mementos. And a fold-out on the last page adds a delightful surprise element.

Adding twine around the top portion of the jar and including a spoon and bee charm. The spoon and bee charm are particularly charming additions, adding a touch of whimsy and perhaps hinting at the sweetness of memories preserved within the album. Mason jars have such a charming and rustic aesthetic that would make for a beautiful theme throughout an album. I can imagine incorporating elements like twine, floral motifs, and perhaps even using actual miniature mason jars as embellishments.
