Did you catch the Sound of Music remake with Carrie Underwood? I love this musical and and what could be a better tribute than Lisa's tutorial sharing how to make a brown paper package tied up with string using just a few of her favorite things from the shop?

1) Using Dauber Paint, stamp bag with dots 

2) Staple various ribbon lengths together and then to doily 

3) Stamp desired message and add to snowflake rosette using a pop dot.

4) Using double sided tape, add snowflake rosette to doily and ribbon 

5) Fold top of bag and tie shut with twine.

6) Using double sided tape, add doily to package.

Hanukkah Treat Jar with Lisa Spiegel

Hanukkah Treat Jar

The first night of Hanukkah was on Wednesday November 27th this year, which is the earliest it has ever or will ever be in my lifetime.  We are celebrating both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah on the same night. I thought it would be fun to come up with a Hanukkah in a Jar kit for the kids. 

 Inside the mason jar (perfect for kids because it's plastic!) is a set of Hanukkah candles tied in twine, a nice new dreidel, yummy chocolate coins (or gelt), the instructions for the dreidel game printed on photo paper and the words to the prayers for the candles as well as a traditional Hanukkah song. 

I stamped a Happy Hanukkah tag, tied it to the lid with seam binding ribbon and added the beautiful felt snowflake to the top of the jar (I love how the middle of the snowflake is the shape of the Star of David!). Each child will have a different top to their jar (as the felt set comes with several different snowflakes) so they can distinguish their jars and can keep all their gelt winnings to themselves!  This was very easy to put together for the kids, and I know they are just going to love having their own Hanukkah Jar!  If anyone would like to make their own Hanukkah jars I would be happy to email them the files for the Dreidel Game and the prayers.  Just leave a comment with your email and I'll get it right out to you.  Happy Thanksgivikuh!
