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

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
