Jazzy Jars

A jar can be two gifts in one, when it's beautifully decorated on the outside and packed with sweets, tea, coffee, herbs, bath salts or other thoughtful offerings.

Marie Browning's best-selling Jazzy Jars delighted crafters with its clever, yet wonderfully easy, suggestions for turning the humble jar into a breathtaking gift package. The creative fun continues in this follow-up collection, which has dozens of all-new, even better projects, patterns, techniques, and ideas. There are spectacular options galore: decorative painting with permanent enamel glass paints, decoupage, altered art, polymer clay, gluing and embellishing with trims or found objects, quick and easy lid decorations, special tags and labels, and much more. Fill up that empty jar, and make it complete, with an entire section of recipes for layered mixes and other foods. Tie a bow around the finished jar, and voila! The perfect present to make anyone happy. A Selection of the Crafters Choice and Homestyle Book Clubs.

Offers ideas for assembling gift baskets, and provides instructions for making a variety of baskets based on various themes, such as new baby, graduation, teacher appreciation, holidays, and others.

Marie Browning, author of Jazzy Jars, Really Jazzy Jars, and Jazzy Gift Baskets, is here with more dazzling techniques and projects to please the discerning crafter. And her ideas are snazzier than ever before! These great gift jars are painted and d�coupaged, ornamented with polymer clay, embellished with mosaics, covered with beads and charms, topped with decorative lids, or coated with resin. Memory jars feature a photo collage; others, fun for kids, have felt or foam creatures. Because an empty jar simply begs for a filling, there are also recipes for homemade mixes and other treats that store beautifully inside--including cocoa, soups, granola, and candy.
