This is a mini cookie jar I had purchased for 1/2 off at a craft store before Christmas. I decorated a few to include some homemade chocolate chip cookies. While I didn't include cookies this time, I did fill it with some Hershey's kisses. It was so simple to decorate as I just cut three circles out of the paper packet - one for each side and another for the top.
Then, I incorporated a technique taught to me by one of my downline, Mary Collins. She taught us how to Quill at my retreat in February. The flowers were cut with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge - cut at 5", 3" and 2". I used Liquid Glass to glue the flower to its' base and then to adhere it to the jar top. The leaves were created by cutting 1/8 strips of paper, curled around the Quilling Tool, and then pinched on both ends to give them their shape.
The jar was a big hit with a few people fighting over it to take it home. Now, I think I need my own so I will be creating another one sometime soon.
Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment, if you will, and continue hopping over to Tonya's blog to see what she has in store for you.
Happy Hoppin'!
