I underestimated how time-consuming all this was. I had to (painstakingly) remove stickers, wash and dry bottles, spray caps, and fill them with heaps (and heaps) of lollies. Worth it? Oh yes!
After hunting the house down for different sized round things to trace the circles, I wanted to buy myself a stencil or compass for Christmas. The fact that I got to eat the leftover Jaffas, I'd make them again any day.
I don't have a proper stamp set so I cut up some foam trays and made some preschool-style. These are what the cards looked like that I gave out this year. I'm honestly not the biggest fan, so luckily I only gave them out to family so they had to love them ;) I'm therefore very excited to get a lovely alphabet stamp set I ordered from etsy.com last week.
Your ideas are exactly what we all need to think about in these struggling times. I know alot of people will enjoy and appreciate your creativity and for such a low low low cost. Many people are having financial hardship and on a VERY tight budget and need cool handmade ideas like yours! I appreciate the time you took to make your own stamps. GREAT job and thanks so much for making "not having alot of money" look so professional, festive and fun!!!!
