Old Man Survival Tool Kit

Hello! Welcome to my blog! There are a lot of milestone birthdays in my family this year. My step dad was turning 70, and that was an opportunity calling out for an Old Man Survival Kit.

I had to go to the store to get some inspiration. I went down the handy man aisle at the local dollar store and came up with these ideas....

1. Magnifying glasses - for when you are blind.
I found the perfect nerdy magnifying glasses at the dollar store.

2. Duct tape - for when you fall apart

3. Mini screwdrivers - for when a screw's loose.

Other items I had to go to a hardware store or grocery store for...

4. Fake Jar of Viagra Pills - Stud Finder -  No explanation here. I printed off a background picture of viagra pills. I placed them inside a jar. This looked so good. I will have to do a post on how to do it. I put peanuts in a bag inside the jar. I made a drug label and adhered it to the jar.

5. Calking - for when you spring a leak.

6. WD - 40 - for when your joints seize up.

You can download the printable tags HERE.

I hope this helps you get some ideas for that gag gift you've been searching for. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Father's Day Gift - Mason Jars Snack Pack

Father's Day is just around the corner. I love "punny" sayings. I liked the 'uh-mason' one so I needed to come up with some creative way of giving the jars.  I made the jar carriers out of a cardboard box.

Click here for the tutorial.

You can make a two pack or four pack carrier. Then print out the tag below, adhere it to the carrier and you are good to go! I printed the tag out on cream card stock and grunged it up with Tim Holtz walnut ink. 

 Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!

Pint Jar Carrier Tutorial

Hello! Welcome to my blog! This project has been on my wish list for a while now. I love jars! I love

the gifts you can give in jars so I wanted to make a carrier for them. 

Here is the tutorial:

I just used a large box and cut it up. I was able to make three carriers. I tore the paper off the front to get the corrugated look. I used hot glue and a lot of it. You don't want the handle popping out when it is carrying precious cargo.  Here is the 2 pack carrier tutorial: 

 This is going to come in handy for gift giving. I will work on some tutorials for smaller jars and post them when I am done. Thanks for stopping by!
