Add a pop of color to your art studio or curio cabinet with this set of Poster Colors paint jars!

This set was made by Milton Bradley and contains 11 glass jars of brightly colored poster paints. The paints have all dried within the jars, but the jars themselves make a perfect display piece.

Display this set of paint jars in a window in your art studio, or on a shelf in your craft room. They would make a fun display on a shelf in a child's bedroom, too. The typography on the labels and on the bright orange box make this set even more fun to look at.

Incorporate the jars into your altered art or assemblage projects for a unique look. You could even remove the dried paint and use the glass jars as small vases in your home or office. So many possibilities!

WHY WE LOVE IT

Even though the paint in the jars is long gone, the jars themselves look so cool - we love that! The retro graphics on the labels and the bright colors of dried paint inside the jars make them so bright and colorful - fun to look at.


CREATIVE USES

There are lots of fun ways you could use this set of paint jars! Here are some ideas:

  • Curio Cabinet Decor - Place the jars randomly into a curio cabinet for bright pops of color. They are sure to be a conversation piece!
  • Colorful Bud Vases - Line the glass jars with clear plastic wrap, then fill with water and add your favorite fresh cut flowers. If you prefer, you could use small plastic bags inside the jars to hold the water and keep the water separate from the dried paint. Set the jars on a windowsill and you have a fun and whimsical display!
  • Storage Bottles - Use the bottles in a craft room, studio, or office to hold small supplies - pins, paper clips, thumbtacks, or stamps. Since the jars do have dried paint in them, you could coat the inside of the jars - just as they are - with a clear acrylic sealer before using as storage bottles.
