I took inspiration from the candy jars on page 46. I liked the simple labels with banners & the lacy look of the black doilies. I dyed some incolour lace trim with staz on re-inker to get some cool black ribbon for my first jar, filled with blood orange mini jelly beans:-
Then I made a Christmas jar with mint macaron (& filled it with mini mints):-
& then I made a bright birthday jar (filled with smarties, yum!):-
& here are all three goodie jars together (♥ the SU black, dazzling diamonds & red glimmer paper used on the banners):-
The lace trim dyes quite nicely. Just pop a length in a snap lock bag, add several drops of Staz On re-inker & work it through the ribbon inside the bag. Pull the trim out with tweezers & lay it on a couple of layers of paper towel to air dry. Each incolor trim will result in a different shade. I have used the taupe trim on my Halloween jar. If you use the mint, you will get more of a slate grey colour & if you use the dijon you will get a dark bronze type of colour. I haven't experimented with the watermelon or cucumber trims yet. :)
