Welcome to the 2nd Annual Handmade Holidays Blog Hop!!!
Calling all crafters! We’ve gathered designers from some of our favorite manufacturers to show you ways to create something from the heart this holiday season. This 3 day Hop includes over 60 stops with inspiration brimming from every corner. Explore all of the thoughtful and frugal handmade gifts you could create for the holidays, all in one place, during our second annual Handmade Holidays Blog Hop!
For my project I altered a candle jar. You can get these at Dollar General for $1.50.
Here is a peek at the lid.
I used some Basic Grey papers that I had been hoarding. Shapes cut with Cricut. Some of the shapes I cuts 4 of and layered them to give a chipboard look. I used Mono Adhesive Dots for all but adhering the ribbon and for that I used Power Bond Adhesive.
To sweeten the Hop, we’re offering a gift for you! For every comment you leave on the blogs in the Hop, you’ll be entered to win a prize pack from one of the participating manufacturer sponsors!
