Valentine Goodies How-To Guide

This year for Valentines day, I thought of making these goody jars...they ended up so cute and cheap! I filled it with a few different kinds of cookies and little heart shaped chocolates. They were a hit!
1. Buy glass jars...or other containers I suppose.
2. Pick out your favorite scrapbook paper...and it has to be your favorite.
3. Cut the paper into strips. Thick and long enough, to fit around the jar.
4. Cut out a circle for the lid.5. Glue the paper around the jar. I used modge podge.6. Do the same to the lid.
7. Pick out a darling trim and hot glue it around the lid.8. Ribbon. Find 1, 2, or even 3 different ribbons that match the image of your creation.9. I hot glued the thicker ribbon around the jar.10. I found these red hearts (24 for like $1) and hooked the crystal to it.11. I then tied the thinner black ribbon around the red, hooked the red heart through, and then tied a pretty bow. The bow has to be perfect otherwise it ruins everything.12. You could stop there...or you could find some bling, and attack the jar with it.13. Bling always makes things a little hotter!

And there you have it. A fun, cheap goody jar that's perfect for any occasion whether it be a holiday or a random act of yumminess!
