Simple Thanksgiving Gift Idea

It seems like I always need a gift to bring somewhere.  Either a hostess gift or just a neighbor gift.  The other day I made these really beautiful Succulent Tin Can Gifts that I am so excited to give this year!  I really love to give gifts that are creative but that don't take a lot of time to put together and so today I am really excited to partner with Expressions Vinyl to share a really fun and simple Thanksgiving Gift Idea!

Neighbor Gift

This Thanksgiving gift comes together so quickly with the help of a Silhouette!  (or another vinyl cutting machine...but y'all know I love my Silhouette!)  So grab a few empty glass jars, a bit of vinyl and some tasty treats and you will have the perfect gift to hand out this fall season!  I created these while drinking a warm mug full of my amazing Caramel Apples Spiced Cider too!  So it was the perfect fall crafting day!

Fall Gift

 

To create this Thanksgiving Gift, you will need:

    • Thanksgiving pack of vinyl from Expressions Vinyl
    • Transfer Tape
    • Silhouette Cutting Machine
    • Fall Circle Tags (Design ID #51314) from the Silhouette Design Store (or similar)
    • Empty Glass Jars
    • Candy

Thanksgiving Gifts

I began by downloading my tag design into my Silhouette software program and un-grouped the designs so that I could manipulated them individually.  I sized them to fit on my glass jar and then I cut them each out in a different color of vinyl.  I then made a circle slightly larger then the tags and cut three of those out. Then I weeded my vinyl. Next I placed transfer tape on my tag, and applied it to the top of the light brown larger circle.  Then I took the stacked vinyl and applied it to the glass jars. Then fill with your favorite candy and gift! This is of course a project that can be modified to fit any reason or time of year.  But they are really really cute looking and they only took a few minutes! And I think nearly any hostess, neighbor or friend would love to receive a cute Thanksgiving gift like this!  

DIY Fall Gift

I love partnering with Expressions Vinyl and two other bloggers every month to bring you some amazing vinyl ideas and host a great giveaway!  Here is what Melissa and McKenzie created this month.  Take a moment to go visit their site and leave them a little love!

      HOORAY! Ok , this is Magic Cookie Bars.. so easy ! SUPER FATTENING TOO, so don't cook em if you don't wanna gain a few pounds. Graham ccakrer crust in the bottom of a 9 x 11 baking dish ! ( to make a graham ccakrer crust, you melt 1/2 cup of margarine, combo with 1 1/2 cups of graham ccakrer crumbs and smash it in the bottom of the dish. A big spoon smooths it out good. Then layer one bag of SEMI SWEET CHOCO CHIPSThen layer one bag of PEANUT BUTTER CHIPS.Then layer one can of SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK, poured over top.NOT EVAPORATED MILK. Bake at 350 approximately 20 to 25 minutes. ( all times are approximate with me cuz i threw out the recipe 10 yrs ago)Bars are done when the milk is golden brown. Set them out about 10 minutes and HOG UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
