A Spotted Canary Project by Nicole

2 December 2009

Whether you make the treats homemade or buy them in the store, the receiver of this Holiday treat will love the decorative jar it comes in! During Christmas and birthdays try making this fun food packaging idea for your sweet treats!

 

You can dress up any household item with stamps.  This jar didn’t look like much when I started, but with a little gold powder it pops.  Try taking something you use every day and dressing it up as a gift.

Instructions

STEP 1:

Cut a piece of plum cardstock to wrap around the jar. Adhere to jar.

STEP 2:

Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit around jar. Stitch both sides and emboss edges with gold. Adhere to jar.

STEP 3:

Emboss chipboard with gold and adhere to cover your paper seam.

STEP 4:

Stamp and emboss four snowflakes.

STEP 5:

Punch out snowflakes with scalloped circle.

STEP 6:

Emboss the scalloped edges.

STEP 7:

Add color to your snowflakes with a marker.

STEP 8:

Adhere snowflakes to jar with foam adhesive.

STEP 9:

Tie two ribbons around the jar.

STEP 10:

Add gems to the center of the snowflakes.

STEP 11:

Cut a plum circle for the lid top. Adhere to lid. Add a snowflake with a gem center to the top with adhesive.

STEP 12:

Fill your jar!

STEP 13:

HELPFUL TIP: To emboss the edges of the snowflakes I rolled the edges in the ink and then rolled them in the powder and heat set them. To add color to each of the images I colored on the embossed part and drug the ink with a make-up sponge. You can also color on the sponge and drag it that way for a darker look.
