Handmade Holiday: Trinket Containers

December 22, 2014 · 8 Comments

Handmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersAll you procrastinators or busy bodies that haven’t had the chance to get all your gifts, I’ve got a very quick, inexpensive and lovely DIY gift for just about any woman on your list. I picked up a Gilded Amberleaf mini candle by Illume Candles back in October not only because it smelled absolutely delicious but I thought the gold dotted tin was just too pretty. As it burned on my dresser, I looked at it fitting perfectly amongst my gold jewelry and decor. I initially came up with the idea to recreate these  tins into lovely match containers, having been inspired by this Martha Stewart craft.Handmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersBut as my luck would have it, the strike anywhere matches somehow got lost in the mail. Since regular matches only light up on the attached strip that comes on the box, they wouldn’t light when stricken onto fine grit sandpaper that I was planning on placing atop these tins. So with literally three days before Christmas I decided to transform these candle tins into small containers, which means you can do this too.Handmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersHandmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersBuy any small candle container with a lid then burn the candle or freeze the wax off. Even better if you’re able to find a pretty and affordable small container with a lid. I, like many, have small bowls, plates and containers throughout my room and vanity housing dainty jewelry and trinkets, which became the inspiration for these handmade holiday gifts for the gals in my life who love pretty little things. It makes a great gift, because it’s something they can all use, whether in the bedroom, office, or bathroom, it’s a lovely and functional little gift.

You’ll Need

  • Small Candle Tin Containers with lid or other Small Containers with lid
  • Adhesive Paper in Two Colors that compliment your container  {paper options found here}
  • Scissors
  • Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker

Handmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersHandmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersIf using candle tins, place in the freezer until wax remnants harden, then break up using a knife. I found that my facial wipes, removed any remaining wax and smoke residue perfectly. Make sure the inside of whatever container you’re using and the lid are completely cleaned, remember pretty little things will be placed inside.Handmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersOutline the bottom of the tin container onto one of the colored adhesive papers. I used white and kraft colored papers, as they paired lovely with my cream and gold tins. {I used adhesive label stickers because I had them at home already} I used the bottom of the tin lid, as it was the perfect size to cover the label.

Carefully cut out the circle, and place onto the bottom of the tin container.Handmade Holiday: Trinket Containers

Outline the top of the lid onto the other colored adhesive paper. Like the bottom of the tins, the bottom of the lid fit perfectly to cover the current label on the container. Carefully cut out the circle, and place onto the top of the tin lid.Handmade Holiday: Trinket ContainersFinish your pretty containers, by writing their name or small message onto the lid. I chose to write “pretty little things”, but your gifted one’s name or inspiring word would be just as nice. You can also do this before cutting and placing the label onto the lid, if it’s easier for you to write.Handmade Holiday: Trinket Containers

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
