Jar Art

I had the girls over the other day

for a card party.

In my preparations,

I was looking for some

silly little gifts

to be awarded.

I found myself at the local

discount store when

I spotted this bright,

cheery jar sitting on the shelf.

Hanging below was this kit:

The kit is made by Ball

and calls for a Ball Canning Jar.

I had several collecting dust at home

so I thought I'd give it a try.

Everything except the jar

was included in the kit...

Cuts outs, ribbon,buttons, tag,

glue dots and dimensional dots.

I had to substitute a Kerr jar

for the Ball jar,

but in less than 15 minutes,

this is what I had:

I filled it with

pastel washcloths and

a few scented candles.

I thought it was a cute,

inexpensive gift idea

that others might enjoy trying.

For the paper crafter,

you could easily create one

without the kit.

Irish Toast:

May the sound of happy music,

and the lilt of Irish laughter,

fill your heart with gladness,

that stays forever after.
