Directions: Cut strip of paper to fit around container. Ink edges and adhere to container. Secure with a rubberband while drying. Cut scallop square. Apply Design Adhesive to paper and follow manufactures directions. Sprinkle on glitter then tap to remove excess. Adhere to container and viola! These are so quick and easy you could make a dozen in an afternoon. Fill it up and you are ready to give away. This idea could be adapted to any season with a change of design on the tag. Hearts for Valentine’s Day, a turkey for Thanksgiving. Your options are unlimited with this Fast Friday project.

She is known for her distinctive, high quality creations that feature a diverse mix of styles and highly creative approach to even the smallest detail.
