I've been playing around with a lot of glass of late and creating homemade gifts to give.
Homemade always offers a special uniqueness, it's personal,
can save money and is a fabulous outlet for your creativity.
The 'Dinosaur Treat Jar' is very simple to make.
All you need is:
A jar with a screw lid.
A plastic dinosaur toy.
Spray paint in the colour of your choice.
Strong glue
Lolly treats.
I used a square-style preserving jar.
I used the same style jar for the Pretty Pressed Flower Vase
which is also a wonderful homemade gift.
To Make:
Place the jar lid on the newspaper in a well-ventilated area.
Spray the lid with spray paint.
Paint the dinosaur toy too.
Leave to dry.
Glue the dinosaur onto the lid.
The glue I used is called Araldite because it has a super strong hold!
Leave overnight for the glue to set.
Fill the jar with treats.
I used 'The Natural Confectionary Co' lollies which are 25% less sugar with no artificial colours or flavouring.
Quite conveniently they have the cutest little dinosaur treats in their range.
Add a bow to the jar neck if you want to or leave it plain.
And there you have a fabulous homemade gift that kids little or big will love!
