A New Year Gift

I'm on vacation this week. Trying to clean up in my craft room. A leak has developed in the closet, forcing me to pull everything out of there and re-arrange. In my milling around, I decided that I wanted to make something for new year's. I decided that I would make gifts for my husband to take to his fellow management team (since we don't really do Christmas and a lot of them sent little gifts to him). I wanted to make candles however I didn't have enough of one type of jar to make everyone the same (that's an issue for me lol). I finally decided to just make them for his store manager and the four co- managers. I prepared the candle in a nice 10 oz jar with two wicks. Then used some scraps!! I had lots of these little white tags cut from my cricut. I wrote the scent on them and tied them with some hemp twine around the jars. I had some scrap cream colored card stock laying about so I used it to make a small tag. I stamped the sentiment (from sp&co) and put a different colored button on each. The buttons also cam from sp&co - Teeny bikini, Hula Skirt, Summer Sunset, Walk the Plank, and Blue Lagoon. I took a plain white paper bag, folded it once, punched two holes in it, and closed it with some silver cord with the tag attached. And there you have it! A quick, simple New Year's gift!
