Jars, Cake Stands and Tins Archives - Page 14 of 17

I decorated these jars for our Pioneer Dinner.

Jar Tops

Supplies Needed:

*Jars of your choice, it got these at Walmart
*1/2 yard Burlap cut into 9 inch circles or a roll of burlap that has been laminated.
*Doilies, to fit the top of your Jars, I used 6 – 8 inch Doilies or you could cut lace this size too.
*Jute to attach Burlap and Doily, you could also use an elastic to help stay in place
*6 Plastic grocery bags to stuff the top
*6 Embellishments of your choice

I used contact paper for may pattern piece so it would stick as I cut out each circle.

Put in jars any food or ribbons or any content you need for your wedding, parties, showers and etc.

Wheat, Rice and Oatmeal Tags

I used brown paper sacks and cut into 4 x 2 1/2 inches, rectangular shapes and then I printed out the names of the contents using the computer using a tan piece of paper. Then I ripped around each word and used the brown stamp and rubbed the stamp against the edges to make the edges look roughed up.

Berry Blue, Pineapple and Strawberry Popcorn

This is a microwave popcorn recipe.

*12 cups of Air Popped Popcorn and put in large bowl

In a medium glass bowl add the following to make the Jell-O Coating:

*1 3 ounce box Jell-O or 1/2 of large box
*1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
*1 cube of butter (1/2 cup), melted

Place the glass bowl of Jell-O Coating ingredients in the microwave. Microwave for one minute take out and stir. Repeat this in 30 second increments until it is very bubbly. If you want a dryer popcorn coating microwave in one or two more increments of 20 seconds, just be careful not to burn the Jell-O Coating.

*Add 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda to the hot bubbling Jell-O Coating this will make it light and foamy, now add to the warm popcorn.

Place Air Popped Pop Corn in greased large glass bowl.

Note: If you have trouble mixing coating over the popcorn, microwave popcorn with Jell-O coating for about 30 seconds this will help in stirring in the Jell-O Coating. (I didn’t need to do this step.)

Tip: Now take the Jell-O Coating stirring it in 1/3 of it at a time onto the popcorn, trying not to have big globs in one spot, mixing with a wood spoon until all popcorn is coated.

Put Jell-O popcorn on cookie sheets with Parchment Paper or Silpat baking sheet liner to dry. (If you still want it to be even crunchier, bake in the oven for on 225*F. For 10-20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, being careful not to burn Jell-O coating.)
