I tried my hand at making the cookie canister that I showed yesterday. I bought a few sheets of scrap booking paper which the instructions say to do, but scrapbook paper measures 12 x12, and my canister I found out when I got home is 13" round! I had to cut a strip of paper and match it up at the back and tape it!
I made the poinsettia top but the one on the front is a felt one. I picked a pack of these up at Hobby Lobby too, I think it looks nicer than just a paper cutout.
So inside this canister you can put the dry ingredients to cookies, or you can bake a batch of cookies, put them in a bag then put them inside the canister. Either way, it will make a great gift don't you think? You could do the same thing with Pringles cans and add home made Chex mix or caramel popcorn... the possibilities are endless.Another quick craft I 'whipped' up was a new bandana for Boo! Kristen saw one in Walmart the other week which I let her buy because it was only $1. I told her we could buy some Christmas material and I'd make another one for Boo. She picked a Halloween one instead - look! it has his name on it . . .
And lastly I made a start on a Christmas bone for our 'doggy tree'.
As you can see I have to hand sew the opening closed. Here's what the other side looks like. . .
Next up. . . . I feel like baking cookies!

Your decorated canister turned out well, and yes, I think it's a really love gift to give someone.
I have had my love of blogging boosted by finding new ones to visit. there are some beautiful ones out there and some amazingly talented people. Some I just keep to visit because they are such happy places they make me smile.
Have a lovely Friday xx
