Hello Pebbles fans!  Amanda here today with another fun and easy upcycled gift jar project.

The perfect little gift jar for all the sweet expecting mothers in your life made by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc darling collection #SpecialDelivery.

As I was looking through my collection of empty food containers the other day, I saw a pair of spaghetti sauce jars that looked like they would make lovely gift containers. Inspired by the soft and delicate prints in Pebbles’ Special Delivery collections, I thought I would make some gift container for an expecting mama.

I started by spray painting the lids white.  The paint finish is pretty durable as I have put the lids on and removed them several times.  Next, I cut a strip of patterned paper and wrapped it around the jar, securing it in the back with glue dots.

I used my Bow-Easy bow maker to make the double bow at the top of each jar.  It is easy to use and it makes it really easy to get the right sides of the ribbon on the front of the bow.

Using a Prego spaghetti sauce label as my inspiration, I designed a sentiment and printed it on patterned paper.  I matted the sentiment with paper and adhered it to the jar.  I trimmed an It’s a Girl sticker and affixed it to the jar.

I used the same sentiment for both gift jars.  Click on the Freebies tab on my blog to download this sentiment for free.
Happy repurposing!

American Flag Home Decor

Kicking off our week and helping us get in the Fourth of July spirit, Amanda Coleman brings us this bold and patriotic American Flag home decor .

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July week, everyone!  Amanda here today with a piece of easy and inexpensive patriotic decor that is sure to liven up your space this holiday weekend.

​With only a couple pieces of patterned paper and a basic 8″x10″ frame, you can make a quick and easy piece of Fourth of July decor that is sure to brighten your space all summer long.  Hang this brightly colored American flag map on a wall or add to your holiday mantel.

I used a USA map cut file from the Silhouette store to create my decor.  I prefer this map because there is slightly less detail in the outline making it a little less fussy to cut.  Die cut the map from white cardstock and gently peel the negative of the die cut to use in your decor.  Use the grids in your die cutting software to help determine the size and placement if your map.

​Determine the placement of the stars and striped paper by placing the 12″x12″ sheets under your die cut.  After you have decided where you want your paper, trim the patterned paper and adhere it to the back of the die cut.

​The bright reds and blues will contrast nicely with the white background leaving you with a piece of eye-catching decor.

If rustic charm suits your style, you can make a similar American flag map by placing a sheet of Old Glory paper behind your die cut.
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Teacher Clipboard

Looking for a fun last-minute gift to give to your child’s teacher before the last day of school? Be sure to check out this teacher clipboard created by Designer Amanda Coleman.

Teacher Appreciation

Teacher Appreciation is a fun time of year for our family as it gives us a chance to give an extra special Thank You to the teachers that do so much for our kids.  This year I put together some pretty clipboards for my kids to give to their teachers.

Embellished clipboard gift for teacher created by @popperandmimi for @PebblesInc using the #GardenParty collection #teacher #clipboard

Altering a clipboard is an easy project to tackle.  Apply a thin coat of liquid adhesive to your clipboard (I used Mod Podge) and adhere the paper.  Be sure to cut out a notch for the clip before adhering the paper.   Flip the clipboard over and trim any excess paper with a craft knife.

Use glittered foam Thickers to add the teacher’s name to the bottom of the clipboard.  Add some die cut flowers to make a cute bouquet.  If you want your clipboard to have a low profile, swap the foam Thickers with flat alpha stickers or die cut vinyl.

Embellished clipboard gift for teacher created by @popperandmimi for @PebblesInc using the #GardenParty collection #teacher #clipboardAs an added gift, I made a mini notebook and inserted it into the clipboard.  I attached a cute pre-made tag from the Garden Party collection that my daughter can customize before she gives the clipboard to teacher.

I made the mini notebook by binding together 20 sheets of printer paper with a patterned paper binding and some grommets.  Super easy!

Have you thanked a teacher today?

Bug Jar

Nothing says summer like activities with the kids. If you’re embarking on a fun-filled summer with kids at home, or maybe just plan to have the grandkids over, you will love Amanda Coleman’s bug jar!

Summer

I love taking a seemingly useless item and turning it into something fun.  I turned an ordinary, plastic peanut butter jar into a cute little bug jar where my kids could house their creepy crawlies throughout the summer.

The Garden Party collection is perfect for creating a little scene on a bug jar.  The flower and bug die cuts made it really easy to embellish a jar in no time.  The little sun is actually a flower die cut, but pairing it with some fussy cut clouds makes it look more like a bright sun.

I adhered a combination of die cuts, stickers, and fussy cut images to the outside of the bug jar.  Aren’t those little bees the cutest?

I covered the top of the jar with a piece of patterned paper and drilled a few holes into the top of the lid.  I labeled the jar with some coordinating Thickers.  Super easy.

I backed the jar with a cloud print to complete the little scene, but you could easily leave this off so you can see through the jar from all directions.

To make the grass, cut a couple strips of patterned paper.  Cut fringe in each strip with a pair of scissors and add some texture by trimming the top of the grass at an angle.

Adhere the grass paper strips to the bottom of the jar and gently bend back the blades to add dimension.

Gift toppers are easy to make and pair well with simple kraft wrapping.  For these gift toppers, I paired a variety of green patterned papers with just a touch of gold for a festive St. Paddy’s Day look.

Pair a single shamrock with a tag and decorative clothes pin to create a simple gift topper.  Die cut the word lucky out of gold foil paper to add some extra sparkle to your gift.
