Thrifty Money-Saving Tips Baby
Food Jars - Gel Potpourri
I
have a great frugal idea for a kids project. More...
I run an at-home daycare and I am always looking for ways to keep the costs down on supplies for the kids. Well, the kids and I just made gel potpourri jars for their parents. I got a quart size bottle of liquid potpourri (on clearance for $.70 cents!), heated it until almost boiling and added 2 packs of non flavored gelatin. Then we removed from heat, stirred until dissolved and poured into baby food jars that the kids decorated with stickers or decoupage with tissue paper. While it's still wet sprinkle on some glitter, then cover with a paper doily and some ribbon and there you have it. I made 9 gifts for the parents for less than $1.70. I hope you enjoy the holidays as much as I do. (Adult supervision required for this craft idea!) * * * December 2005 Tip Rewards Winner!!!
