Welcome
I made this the other day when I wanted a wee gift for a friend
I had recently emptied this jar, and removed the label, but the jar was still slightly sticky, and this sparked the idea...

I wrapped it in lace, adding some double-sided sticky tape to help hold it on

I then found some double sided paper and used a NBUS Nellie Sneddon folded heart die to make this pleated heart - this was not my first attempt - there were no instructions with the die and so a few 'oops' occurred in the making. Of course, since then I have found instructions online!!
The paper underneath the heart is the other side of the pink.
The ribbon is from my stash and matched perfectly

...and I found a card in my stash that matched perfectly!!
The jar was filled with sweets and gifted the next day, and was very much admired and appreciated

Great idea for using up that recycled jar, Maxine! That pleated heart looks awesome to decor the lid! Lovely matching card too!
Such a pretty gift item, Maxine... and I love how it coordinates with your lovely card so well!
This is creative thinking. Using the already sticky surface to help hold the lace and ribbon is genius. I would have worked to have a clean surface. This is a wonderful gift.
Love, Hugs and Blessings
What a cute idea for a little gift and WOW on that heart too!!! LOVE IT! This is so pretty Maxine.

Very creative and a great gift, Maxine. The pleated heart die is so elegant! The matching card is perfect. I love to upscale items. Thank you for sharing with Word Art Wednesday this week! Take care.
What a gorgeous set, Maxine. I absolutely LOVE the idea of upcycling a jar like that and you've done a great job at it. What a fabulous idea. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a blessed day.
Clever idea for the jar, it turned out brilliantly and how lucky to find the perfect card already made - result xx
Awesome upcycling of the jar Maxine. And awesome to find a matching card!
Love that fan die - it looks very impressive and well worth the "oops" it brought forward whilst making.
How fortunate to find the ribbon to match so well and even more, the card to go with it. Such a lovely idea.
Blessings, Neet xx
Who wouldn't love this amazingly beautiful jar filled with sweets?!! It is just as cute and sweet as can be! I love that pleated heart, so pretty. Glad you found instructions online to help aide you in making it. It looks amazing and so perfect on top of the lid. Love the lace around the jar, so pretty. That ribbon is perfect as is your card, so love all everything came all together! Hugs, Brenda
What a pretty gift! Very creative. I'm sure it will be well liked by the person you give it to!
Hi Maxine, a great way to re-use an empty jar, love the heart on the top, it looks like you can thread through the holes, our empty jars get taken upto a co-op then they re-wash them and people can take the jars for free and fill them with tea, honey etc. I have my DT hat on, thank you for joining us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, good luck in the prize draw...
