I hate to throw things away - especially things that I can reuse into something else! Lately, we have ended up eating a lot of peanuts... We buy a big container from Walmart - and just have a handful of them when we want some! Because of that - I have ended up with a lot of various empty containers! My husband ended up putting some candy in one of them, so we decided to create this fun candy jar in order to keep candy in for each of us!!
Supply list:
Peanut container (or whatever container you want to alter)
Cardstock
Patterned paper
Cricut cartridges -
Ashlyn's Alphabet
Celebrations
Adhesive
**Tip** Unless you have a better way of taking off this label, I have found it best to cover it and not try to remove it! However, if you do find a way, and you can keep it looking shiny and clear the way it is, please let me know!
Directions:
Step one: Clean out your container, allowing to dry completely before putting any paper on it.
Step two: For the front label - cut a piece of cardstock 8 x 3.5, score at 2" on the right and the left side of the paper. Add to the container.
Step three: Using Ashlyn's Alphabet - CANDY in 1"... I used a red, lighter red and white - with the lighter red and white for the candy pieces.
Step four: Using the Celebrations pack, cut the candy pieces out at 1" and 3/4" using the left over paper from the alphabet for this part.
Step five: Using the adhesive of your choice (I used hot glue gun - would recommend running it through a Xyron machine in order to keep it flat, or anything comparable), add the word "candy" and candy pieces to the front of the container!
It is a very easy project to do, if you don't particularly have a Cricut machine and these cartridges, you can always change it to one you do have, or simply use the machine you do have! If you don't have a machine, look at what you DO have...and just change things for the supplies you have! I hope you enjoy this one, and make sure you share with me what YOU have made!
Until next time,
