Wonder Woman!/ Cheap, quick, but cute giveaways for the holidays






Well, there was this awesome sale from the comic book club at school and they were just doing it for fundraisers. The prices were completely awesome, and the stuff was too. Sadly, i had only 5 dollars and bought this Wonder Woman box...what's even better is it has vintage post cards inside it, only for $3! Deal or no deal??? DEAL.


Ok, well heres a simple little tutorial to make this insanely simple giveaway.
Materials Needed:
-Ribbon (1 wide and one skinny)
-Mini glass jars (99 cents store, come in packs of 3 :D)
-Hot glue gun
-Candy, candles, etc (anything you want to put in the jar for the giveaways)
Step 1:
Clean the jars out and dry. Take the lid off and set aside.
Step 2:
Get your wide ribbon and cut it however long you want, not too long, make sure the length matches the jar. Probably 3 inches, more or less.
***Making the bow***
Pinch the wide ribbon in the middle, so it creates folds, take a snippet of the skinny ribbon and tie in the pinched area. Make sure your knot is in the back so it hides the "faux bow" look.
Trim anything that is revealing from the front.
Step 3:
Take your hot glue gun and put just a little drop, or more if your bow is too thick, and stick it just below where the little screw part for the lid is. and voila! A simple giveaway. Fill with candies or any other goodies you can fit.
I brought these to a small party for my club in thanksgiving and it was a hit, every kept asking me if they were expensive :O
but, an artist never gives away their secrets. Wait...that a magician...lol oh well.
