DIY COLOR BLOCKING JAR

By definition, color blocking is strategically placing and pairing contrasting colors together. Right now this trend is everywhere - from clothes to home decor.  I'm still not sure if I'm a huge fan of it, but recently I did see a great example of it being used in this project featured by Design*Sponge.

How cute right?! Although I didn't have any rope on hand, I did have a TON of twine that I got for free from IKEA and some leftover fabric from my bulletin board makeover.  Using the above project for inspiration, I decided to play around with my materials to see what I could make - with the help of my trusty glue gun! :D

 What do you think? Interesting... huh? ;) For now my little DIY sits in our kitchen and holds our pens and stuff.  

This actually turned out to be a lot of fun and got me thinking about color blocking another container to hold my keys (yes, I'm still needing one for my "changing table-turned-drop off station/workspace"). Although next time I would like to spread the colors around more instead of keeping it all in one section. Hmmm... will definitely update you all if I do!

Be back tomorrow with an easy and healthier alternative to the DELICIOUS fried chicken! :) Hope everyone's having a great start to their week!
