Smart Tips Tuesday

I did some canning over the weekend and since most of these will be gifts, I decided to do a little decorating. For my Dilly Beans, I cut out circles of fabric (the size of the lids) and just laid them under the screw down caps. I cut a length of very narrow black elastic (purchase at any fabric/craft store) to tie a gift card around the cap. I cut a narrow strip of fabric, some hot peppers, (less than one inch wide) and tied it around the jar. Voila, it’s a pretty thing. You can chose vintage pictures, reduce and personalize them; to make gift tags, like these. Or use several free sites, available for all different kinds of labels and tags.

On my jams I just cut circles, attached them with a rubber band and then tied on the gift tags, which I found at this website, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/acProject?project=vintagehandcraftedproductlabels&extcat=labelscovers&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
