Happy valentines day everyone! Due to being a sick house the last few days we had to improvise when my daughter said she wanted to give 2 of her friends something special for valentines day. I've been collecting empty jars in particular Nutella jars not only because I have an addiction to Hot crepes and the delicious chocolaty goo but because the jars are cute and have big white lids perfect for decorating. So first we filled the jars with sweets (we had quality streets but you could anything love hearts would have been a cute idea), we then covered the lids with washi tape (this tape is amazing, love the stuff) then we printed off some free valentines labels from here and tied them on with some bakers twine. My daughter finished off by drawing some hearts on the jars and putting her friends names on the labels, this is such a cute and simple idea and doesn't need to be just for valentines day. Perfect for making personal little gifts for weddings, birthdays, baby showers. We are planning on saving enough jars so we can decorate them and give them out at my daughters birthday party in the summer rather than the standard party's bags. You can fill them with anything from sweets, bubbles, costume jewellery, even a little recipe and some key ingredients, small toys, the possibilities are endless. I suppose whatever your theme is you could think of cute things to fill it with. There are also free printables all over the net If you don't want to make your own, I think this is such a lovely idea and can be used for so many occasions. Hope you all have a great day x
