Use the Scrapbook Paper to cover the midsection of the clear pails. Use the Eclips machine to cut out the words on the front of the pail and any other designs you want (we used it to cut out the snowflake and lettering)! Glitter glue can be applied ANYWHERE and I encourage you to put it EVERYWHERE on these awesome pails!! Use the Hot Glue Gun to wrap the twine and ribbon around the pails. Ink the edges of the paper cutouts with an inkpad to give it more dimension.

Thanks for looking and CRAFT ON!!!! ~ Deborah @ Market City

Favor-ite Halloween Container

Did you know you only have two months to get your spooky on? That's right, just two short months until that frightfully fun holiday, Halloween. Don't worry, our Ben Franklin stores are already getting geared up to help you with all your ghoulish needs. Check out this cute and fast favor project:

All you need to put one of these favors together is some Halloween scrapbooking paper, stickers, stamps, a white paint pen, and a StazOn stamp pad. I used some great paper and sticker embellishments from K&Company for both of my favors.

Using the StazOn ink and your choice of stamps, stamp your images onto the lid of the favor. You usually have to be pretty careful stamping on such a smooth surface, but because this favor was for Halloween, I didn't care if my images came out a little blurred or messy. I think it gave them an eerie quality. Then, use the white paint pen (for this project I used a Decocolor pen) to color under your stamped images on the inside of the lid.

Next, to finish up the favor, I used a circle cutter to cut a 4.5 inch circle from my scrapbooking paper and lined the inside of my lid with it. Then, I added some sticker embellishments to the sides and the top of the favor and a little bit of punky-cute tulle.

There are so many things that can be done with these awesome clear containers, and for under two dollars you can put together a lot of trendy gifts or favors like the ones I just made.

Thanks for reading!
