Tips and Tricks-Laughing Cow and Bunnies
Hi there ~ Barb's turn for Tips and Tricks Thursday. I love this new Laughing Cow Cheese as much as I love re-purposing the cute little container. My boys are worried I'm becoming a hoarder because I keep so many different containers with the ambition of re-purposing all of them! And... I couldn't resist spotlighting this cute set from Skipping Stones Design, Chocolate Volume #1, just in time for Easter (by 'just in time' I mean there's still time to order this set for Easter).
Here are the supplies you'll need:
Start off by peeling the label off the container, cutting a 4" circle from background paper, stamping the image and paper piecing the little bunnies.
...then apply some Mod Podge to the top of the container (it acts like glue and a sealer)...
...apply the 4" circle, let dry a few minutes, apply the bunnies and another coat of Mod Podge...
...apply ribbon around the edge of the container (with Mod Podge)...allow to dry (if there are dark spots apply a coat of Mod Podge on top of the ribbon)...
...and finish it off with a few embellies...
...perfect size for candy or even a gift card!
Thanks for stopping by, now go find a container to re-purpose!
