Kisses for Dad and Grandpa, Father's Day Gifts, Hershey Kisses


What a fun and easy gift for dad on Father's Day. A container FULL of Hershey Kisses. If Dad has a sweet tooth he's going to love this gift!  Showing above are 4 different ways to decorate these glass jars. The sky's the limit on how you can decorate it. A bit of ribbon, twine and cardstock is all it takes. 




I love this glass jar. It's the perfect size for this gift.  (Picked it up at Deseret Book to use for Christmas gifts) We backed the "Kisses" label with a masculine cardstock in brown and light brown and added a matching orange grosgrain ribbon. 




We used a caning jar (Mason Jar) for this one. We know that a lot of you have canning jars at home and using them would make this project even easier!  Once again, you could use ribbon or twine. We used a solid brown cardstock to back the label.




 We also cut out a circle of  brown polkadot cardstock the same size as the jar's lid and put it on top of the lid....didn't like the way the gold lid looked. I think it just finished it. 

The labels measures 2.6" tall and 11" wide.  Be sure to keep that in mind when looking for a container.



We went with a orange stripe cardstock and a solid brown cardstock for this one. We love the solid colored twine and wrapped it around the lid with a tag. We used four different colors of brown in the words to give you more options when matching the cardstock and ribbon to the label.




We used a cardstock with writing on it and a solid brown cardstock for the back piece and used both solid brown and orange twine around the bottle.  I like layering multiple pieces of cardstock. 

When you put the label around the container you might have a gap between the label ends. If so, just cut another piece of paper the width and height of your paper and adhere it to the label. Cut it a little bit wider than the gap. 

We are also including a sheet of round "To and From" labels. You may not need a tag but just in case....... we've got you covered. Use a 2" or a 1.5" round paper punch.

This would be a great gift for the kid's to give Dad! They could even help put it together. 

Both labels and tag are available here

Craft Room Organization: Store 33 Rolls of Twine In a Small Space...Now That's Nice!


Another fabulous tip for your craft room organizing is this cone rack, meant for cones of sewing thread.  It is the perfect size for your rolls of twine, either Divine Twine as show above or even Twinery twine.  Even full rolls fit nicely next to each other.  I love having them all in one place and being able to store them this way.




The rack is only 7" deep  and 16" wide which means it won't take up too much of your desk space.



You can fit 33 different twine rolls on this rack. I bought mine at JoAnns Fabric and Craft store with a coupon and it was just under $8.00. It's definitely worth the investment to be able to see all 33 rolls at once and be able to grab the one you want without searching for it.  If you have multiples of each color you could store them behind the rack as shown above. 




When I first saw they had come out with solid colored twine I was thrilled. I like the solid colors more than the multi-colored thread, as you can tell from the photo above.




You can find these racks at most craft stores. or even Amazon.com.   The one pictured alternates between 5 and 6 peg rows starting at the top with 5 and ending at the bottom with 6.



Oh wow....I've got 6 empty spots....Got my coat on and I'm off to buy 6 more rolls of twine! 


We have Divine Twine Available in our Etsy Shop Click HERE
