Day 5 of S&S 12 Days of Creepmas

Well hello there!  Today is Day 5 of the 
You should have arrived here from Monique's blog - the blog roll is over on the left sidebar <---------------------------------- 
Here's my creation, an altered jar that I turned into
I filled my jar with holiday M&M's.  Printed my Dilly Beans Skellie image with a Santa Hat from The Octopode Factory several times in a row and fussy-cut them in a strip.  I took a piece of red cardstock and applied my strip of images to it with Mod Podge.  I then used Mod Podge to attach the cardstock to the jar.  More Mod Podge on the cover to attach a piece of DP (cut into a circle slightly larger than the cover and then just bunched in) - then tied a piece of ribbon around it.  And here's a little tip for you:  I used an old jar that had contained a strong scented sauce - I dropped a few tablespoons of baking soda in it and put the cover on for a few hours.  When I took the cover off, the stinkiness was completely gone!  :)  Now hop on off to the Incredible Ike and have fun!
Peace.

    What a cute way to gift some candy! Love those goofy Santas that you added; and I love the way you finished the lid! Good idea about the "stinky jar" correction, too! Thanks! :^)
    Hugs, Penny
