I love Poundland and Poundworld, you never know what you’ll find. It takes me ages to go round as I have to really look at the stuff they have and then think “What could I do with that?”
I got these jars yesterday, would you believe a pack of 3 for a pound?
I have used my Stampin Up scallop and plain circle punches for the top, front, back and tag and added a snowflake punchie to the top with a clear gem. Around the lid of the jar I have put self adhesive ribbon, slipping the thread from the tag under it to keep it secure.
The jar is filled with red, green and white jelly beans. You can get these beans in many different colours, so you can mix and match them to go with your them. Blue and white ones would look brilliant too!
Other ideas could include, bonbons for snowballs, chocolate nibs for reindeer poop, aniseed balls for Rudolph noses, jelly lips for Christmas kisses and jelly hearts for Christmas love …… (hearts and lips are available from W H Smith and Thorntons Pic n Mix)
A side affect of crafting is also looking very carefully at sweets to see what they could be used for …… and then of course you have to sample the goods ……!
what a find those jars are ..... now ...where is there a Poundland ?????

ReplyDeleteand I'm loving those jars
I love what you have done to those jars :o) Could you please advise what size Punches you use for the circles and the scalloped circles? Would love to attempt something like this and want to buy some punches but don't know what sizes. A big THANK YOU from me in advance!
ReplyDeleteLove Poundland! Am currently altering a set of glass coasters from there for a swap I'm on. Wish I'd bought more at the time - these have been in my stash a good year now!
ReplyDeleteI loved your jars as soon as i saw them, they inspired me to make my own with my leftover jars.
ReplyDeleteThese look great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

These would be fun to give to the children in my neighborhood. I think they'd love getting their very own jar of jelly beans. I'm going to remember this for Easter. I think it would work well for that holiday, too. That will give me time to find some little jars, too.
