I spotted this mini mason jars in the wedding section of Home Bargains. At just 39p each it would have been rude not to buy a few. £3.90 for ten is about the same as a latte and a piece of cake, so in making this considered purchase I was really saving myself from an unwise choice along my Slimming World journey!!!!
I am thinking “Christmas” …….. along the lines of chocolate jingle beans, red and green ones would be perfect (M & Ms?) and then attaching a cluster of small bells tied with ribbon to the handle or perhaps Cadbury snowballs with a snowflake and ribbon on the handle. I need to study the various festive sweets as they come into the shops. Chocolate foil wrapped snowmen could also be an option ……. any other ideas/suggestions very welcome ………
I also spotted these small 10cms x 10cms design pads (5 x 20 designs) in The Range for £1 each. They had quite a few different themes and colour ways but I went for the blues and greys because I need to get a wriggle on and start putting together another set of advent drawers, but where my last one mainly used red and green patterned papers, I thought blue, grey and white would give me a completely different look as I get very easily bored if I have to repeat a lengthy project.
The Works also has this size of paper pads for the same price but NOT with Christmas designs (yet).
I like these pads because the proportions of the designs are scaled down and so perfect for small projects. I have been caught out too many times buying the smaller size of a 12 x 12 design pad only to find that though the paper is smaller the design is not! One sheet from these pads would perfect for the centre panel on a simple square card, so, in theory no cutting and wastage. I love the knitted design, perfect for a patchwork card?
Those little jars are so cute! Can’t wait to see the finished articles.
ReplyDeleteI love those little jars and the papers are pretty, too. You'll put them all to good use.
