~ Red Recycled Coffee Jar ~




I keep coffee jars for projects like these~I can't bring myself to throw them away!







DYSU #79 Red




I love this humongous heart from Waltzingmouse Stamps (Nordic Spring).

I looped some embroidery thread behind the heart and attached a backing so there won't be a raw side to view through the jar.



The unique sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's In the Meadow.


I used Viva's Inka Gold to add a bit of shine to the obvious red cover, and


 attached some loopies around the circle too.


The loops took some time, but otherwise, it's a pretty quick project to package a gift.


Hope you are having a wonderful day, thanks for stopping in. ;)
