VC Rock July Blog Hop
Welcome to VC Rocks July Blog Hop. Theme for this Hop is Hostess Gifts and Non-Card items. I'm stop # 5 on this hop. If you'd like to start from the beginning visit VC Rocks blog site here
In this little Ball Mason jar is sugar hand scrub. So easy to make and smells wonderful! Take a small mason jar and fill it 3/4 of the way full with sugar. Then add Dawn Oil of Olay dish soap (pink kind) up to the rim then mix together. You can add more sugar as needed to make it into a paste. To use just scoop some up in your hand wet a little and scrub, then rinse off. Makes your hands so soft and pretty smelling. For the top flower I used the blossom punch. Colors used Regal Rose, Rose Red and Crumb Cake. I did a tutorial on this flower for last years VC blog hop using a different punch. You can check it out here for directions.
Here is a nice top view of the jar lid. I used the dot embossing folder on Crumb Cake then just dragged the ink over the dots.
I plan to use these as hostess gifts.
For booking gifts I'm currently giving out brads, and buttons and presenting them on cardstock strips that I've placed in the tall thin cello bags. Toppers use Rue Des Fleurs stamp set.
And last I'm wrapping bakers twine and linen thread around wooden spoons. The tops of the spoons I used my Cropidile on and joined with a split ring.
Hope you enjoyed my little part of this fun hop.

Wonderful hostess gifts! Ooh, I really like that pink hand scrub. So purty! tfs
Great ideas. I would never have thought to put ribbon, bakers twine, etc. on spoons -- what a great idea. Loved your hand scrub, another great idea!
I love the way you've wrapped the baker's twine. Love the hand scrub, too. The scrub itself sounds heavenly, and the flower you made for the top of the jar is gorgeous.
Your projects are all so wonderful! What great ideas!
