I started with the $1 bottle of soap from Wal-mart. (For your project, any clear soap will do, as long as the label is easy to remove, and there’s no printing on the actual plastic bottle. This had a sticker on the front and the back but they were easily removed.)

Print out a few words onto a transparency with a laser printer. (Don’t use your inkjet printer because the ink is NOT waterproof. Print out what you’d like and take it to your local copy center and have them make a copy onto a transparency.) I made my images about 3″ high by 2 1/2″ wide. After I cut them out, I trimmed them down by holding them up to the bottle to get the approximate size. I also rounded the corners which made it look a little nicer. To insert it into the bottle just roll it up and stick it into the top. It will unroll by itself once it’s inside the bottle. If you need to adjust it at all just use the pump. When it’s in the right spot, just screw the top back on with the pump behind the transparency. Tie a ribbon and you’re done!

And, I left work so quickly today to catch my train that I forgot to email the word art to myself so I could post it to share with you. As soon as I get it tomorrow I’ll edit the post with the link, then you can download the words I used above and use those if you want.

Edited: Here’s the link for the downloadable PDF. When you download it, just print at normal scale and it will print to the correct size. A preview of the file is below. You can make 8 different soap bottles with the file. Download it here.

Have fun!

It’s a perfect single sized serving of deliciousness!

For each package you’ll need:
1 1/2 cups rice krispies
1 1/2-2 cups mini marshmallows
1 sandwich bag
1 snack size bag

Just add the rice krispies to the sandwich bag and the marshmallows to the snack size bag and layer together like the photo above. Then fold the ends on the top in slightly and staple. Print out the package with instructions here. (I used a piece of white cardstock. It’s in a PDF format. Be sure that when you print it you DON’T tell it to scale it or print to fit page. It’s just the right size so if you print it at 100% it will work perfectly!) After you print it, just cut down the middle and fold each piece. You’ll have two pieces that are 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. Staple to the top and you’re done! Super easy!

This is what the back looks like.
This is a preview of what the download looks like. Be sure to print it out from here though. If you click on the image and try saving and printing it may not print out the correct size!

The only thing the person that receives this needs is one tablespoon of butter and they will have a yummy treat!

Happy Crafting!

P.S. Look for more posts this week as I realize that I’ve got more Christmas related posts than there are Tuesdays before Christmas! So we’ll be having more tutorials than just today. I’ve got a few more gifts, and some home decor. All easy of course!

See you soon!

No-one. Yep, that’s right, they didn’t choose any of them.

And the funny thing was, it didn’t even surprise me because that’s just how Jonathan Bailey is. He’s extremely picky. The CEO said it was because he gave us the wrong guidelines for the card competition but it’s really because Jonathan didn’t like any of them. Oh well!

But on a better note, I got my first real card client this week! I’m doing 450 wedding announcements for her. I’ll post a picture of her announcement once I get the ok from her. Just think black, white, and a monogram. Very classy! Anyway, enjoy the non-traditional holiday cards!
