VALENTINE CANDY JAR / Hybrid Project for Deena Rutter...


Don't you just L-O-V-E Valentine's Day? It's such a wonderfully fun day to celebrate and a great reason make cute~sy crafts! This Valentine Candy Jar is one of those projects you can do last minute, you probably already have everything you need!

What you'll need:
  • A digital kit - I used Deena's Truly Papers and Truly Birds D-Cuts
  • Inkjet Vellum (used here), or another inkjet paper
  • A glass jar - I recycled this jam jar
  • Paper trimmer, border punch
  • Cupcake liners
  • Twine or ribbon
  • Adhesive - I used adhesive strip.
How to make it:
1 - Measure your jar, height and width around. Try to pick a jar that isn't tapered - if it is, you'll have trouble wrapping the paper around evenly. Also try to pick one with a small top - that works better with the cupcake liners. 
2 - Layout your label and print. Trim it. I used a scallop border punch on the top of mine.
3 - Place a strip of adhesive on the ends and wrap it tightly around the jar.
4 - Put your goodies in the jar, cover the opening with a cupcake liner that matches your label and screw the top on over it. Put a strip of adhesive on top of the lid, cover with the second liner and secure with your twine or ribbon.
5 - VoilĂ ! You're all finished! Now you can give this cute gift away, or keep it for yourself!


Thanks for stopping by and happy hybrid crafting!
