    Give a “jar of nothing” for Christmas this year…

    Have you ever had someone say they want “nothing” for Christmas in response to your question about what they want? How helpful is that…OK, I did it to two people just last night. Here’s a fun craft to give to those “no sayers”.

    Pls RT and pass this on!

    Image for A Jar of Nothing Gift DIY Craft Project

    Empty jar
    Sticky label paper
    or Paper and Clear Glue

    For this project all you need is an empty jar.

    You can print this saying out onto some adhesive label paper suitable for your printer or print it onto normal plain paper. Use some clear craft glue to adhere it to the jar.

    If you want to go all out you can add some ribbon to the jar and even box it up for a great gag gift.

    –The Saying—

    Did you say nothing?
    When you were asked what you wanted for
    Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation or Christmas.
    Don’t you remember saying NOTHING
    Well this time someone heard you, searched
    high and low and found this perfect gift for you.

    Note: These are great for Christmas fund raising stalls.

    Illustration Friday

    One of the most unique and fun activities online is Illustration Friday. You can read the description below but it is a great way to get your art “out there” and enjoy some equally non-well-known but very talented people. Do the weekly activities as a family!

    Amplify’d from illustrationfriday.com
    Illustration Friday is a weekly creative outlet/participatory art exhibit for illustrators and artists of all skill levels. It was designed to challenge participants creatively. We believe that every person has a little creative bone in their body. Illustration Friday just gives a no-pressure, fun excuse to use it. No clients looking for a particular thing. No one judging the outcome of the work. It’s a chance to experiment and explore and play with visual art. So welcome, novices and pros alike.

    the backing is painted chipboard.  The scalloped frame is chipboard from Stampin Up! the paper is sassafrass lass.  the man and woman are naked chipboard pieces from maya roads, sprayed with my homemade glimmer mist and then coated in crystal effects.  I also used crystal effects to glue the letters down and gloss the middle.  the flowers are imaginesce and kaiser.  I also pleated the ribbon under the scallops.  I tied a ribbon into the holes in the heads of the people :)
