Well, all the presents are wrapped, the food is made (just needs to be baked), and I can relax...phew....We kind of procrastinated....getting all the gifts way late and not wrapping until last night... We definitely pulled a late-nighter getting them all finished up at 2am....(yawn)This year, hubby's family is making gifts for everyone....so I made everyone some glittered ornaments as shown in a previous post here: Glittered Ornaments. I was also looking for another project and came across an idea in the November/December 2011 of Paper Crafts....On the cover they had a mason jar candle holder. Using that basic set up, I tweaked it a little.
Starting with a mason jar, I found a votive holder that would sit in the mouth of the jar. Then, I made bands to wrap around the jar out of paper. I cut a vintage Christmas greeting out of Graphic 45 paper. I finished the jar up by wrapping twine around the lip, tying a bow, and adhering a poinsettia on top of the bow. I made 4 of these and filled them with different treats for the family....
Supplies used:
- mason jars
- votive holder
- super tape
- glue dots
- May Arts Twine
- Martha Stewart Punch: Infinite Double Loops
- gold metallic cardstock
- Graphic 45 Christmas Past Collection
- Petaloo Red Velvet Poinsettias
