25 Days of {homemade} Christmas Gifts-Day 16 Decorated Jar

For today's gift, I decorated a jar and filled it with some scented bathsalts. What is great about this gift, is you can fill it with almost anything!


I used the following supplies on this project;

A Mason Jar
ribbon, scrapbook paper
snowflake ornament
tag
hot glue
bath salts or something to fill the jar




To start, I used the circle of the lid as a stencil to cut out the paper on the lid. I added some hot glue to the edge and put the ring back on. I didn't want the person to have to deal with putting the lid back together everytime she opened it.

Then I tied the ribbon and tag around my snowflake ornament and hot glued it to the top of the lid.




I filled the jar with some bath salt. This is very easy to make. There are a ton of recipes on the web, just Google it and find one that you like. Check for the scents in the candle section of your hobby store!

Trick or Treat Candy Jar-Altered Frappachino Bottle

I saw on the Cricut message board that someone had used vinyl to alter a jar, filled it with candy corn, and had a very cute, easy gift! I decided to use some of my vinyl scraps and alter some frappachino bottles. These are just too fun and easy to make! I did decorated the top with an epoxy sticker, added some American Crafts Ribbon, and surprisingly a whole bag of candy corn! Trick or treat is cut from the Happy Hauntings cartridge cut at 1 1/4 inches. Hope you enjoy! Happy crafting!
