Remember both the extraordinary events and happy little moments of your year with a cute little project. Easy and fun to create, this jar by Colette Smith holds all your memories for you to look back on at a later date. It’s great to make for yourself or for a friend. Present it empty for them to fill, or pop in some of your favourite times you’ve shared together. When sticking embellishments to the jar, make sure to use a suitable glue, as not all types will work well on glass. Whenever something exciting happens, just write it down and place it in the jar. Enjoy!
Craft Essentials, Kilner preserve jar, Hole punch, Label die
• Unscrew the lid from a small preserve jar. Remove the Ḁat inner part and cover with Ḁoral paper. Allow to dry. Print ‘Memories of 2016’ onto white card and cut out with a label die. Stick onto a larger floral label, then fix to the front of the jar.
• Cut out flowers from assorted papers and use a hole punch to create discs for their centres. Stick the blooms across the side of the jar and on the label. Screw the lid onto the jar, wrap ribbon around it and tie in a bow.
• Cut small rectangles of white paper and write memories on them. Roll up and secure with twine, then pop in the jar. If making the project as a gift, you may wish to leave this step to the recipient.
