20 Crafts in 20 Days! Crafts 8 and 9, "Take Flight" and a tiny hemp wrapper jar

I have had the shadow box and materials to make my "Take Flight" frame for soooo long. I'm so glad that I have been forcing myself to craft everyday or I might never have got this done. And it was SO EASY. It took almost no time at all to get it put together with only one minor set back. This was the final product:

Kevin and I love to travel and I have been trying to find some different fun ways to document all our trips. This idea came from a similar shadow box idea where the person was collecting ticket stubs to concerts. Since we don't goto all that many concernts I thought it would be a cuter idea to add a single ticket stub from every flight we take into the shadow box. I'm really happy with how it turned out.  One of the downfalls that I wasn't anticipating was the tape that was used to hold on the advertising for the product. It was clearly not very well thought out, I had to unscrew the glass from the outside in order to remove the cardboard and then I had to use an adhesive sticker remover to get the excess tape off. Luckily in the end it worked out, but I was fairly disappointed in the company that did the packaging for the product. In this picture you can see the tape smudges left over after I removed the glass:

This is the first hemp wrapped glass container that I've tired. It took about as long as I thought it would take to do, which is FOREVER. I recommend putting on a good TV show or movie before you start this project and just work on it while you are watching. It also took a few glue sticks from my glue gun, but I think in the end I like the way is looks, I have to figure out what else I want to add to the jar now.
