    I need a cute way to wrap a jar of jelly

    Do any of you have a cute way to wrap up a jar of jelly for christmas. I made a ton a couple months ago and wanted to give some away for christmas. I don't like using gift bags but that's the only thing I can come up with.

  2. I just happen to see this really wonderful Carmel Jar last night on Kurtis' blog, maybe you can do something like this instead of actually wrapping your jar of jelly.

    Christie,
    I once owned a gift-basket business and this is something that looks cute and isn't expensive. Take some clear cellophane (or printed) and cut a square large enough so that when the jar is placed in the middle you can gather the corners and edges up above the jar. Tie it off with a piece of curling ribbon. Then take that star garland or a pretty wired ribbon and tie a nice bow. It always looks festive. PS: you can get the cello in the craft store near the gift wrap stuff.

    If your cover is in 2 parts, you can cut a fabric circle larger than the diameter of the cover. Put the fabric between the 2 cover parts.
    Tie a ribbon around the screw-on part of the cover.
    OR...
    If you are using a one-piece cover, cut a fabric circle larger than the cover and put over the cover, holding in place with a ribbon. You can Decorate with diecuts or other greenery, or maybe a bow.
    These look really cute when done!
    Take pix of finished jars!

    We did the gifts in a jar, cookies, noodle soup, different ones at church for a fund raiser. We cut the fabric tops, then tied raffia around the neck and attached the tag for the directions. They look very nice. You can give me a jar or home-made jelly and wont even have to decorate it. Yum. Glinda

    The way Ellie described is what I have always done either with Cellophane of tissue papers. Our Dollar Tree had big rolls of Christmas cellophane just last week. We used to wrap gift baskets for our senior citizens that are home bound or alone that our County does each year! We used curling ribbon and pipe cleaners to twist the tops.
    Very festitive and not expensive to wrap.

    I saw this neat idea on the news this a.m. for wrapping a bottle of wine but the same concept could be used for jelly. Anyway, take the sleeve of an old shirt, close off the bottom someway (I missed that part), put the bottle inside the sleeve with the button end at the top of the bottle, tie a ribbon around it, and there you go. Have the button end up some so that the ribbon doesn't hide the buttons.

    Christie , I saw these on SCS this AM. I thought I could use white bags and glue on the colored paper . You could also use white lunch bags and turn the top down to make the collar on the elves ' shirts. These would be pennies each. I know you said no gift bags , just thought I'd pass it along anyway.
