Gifts for anytime of the year No.3 DIY Hearts in a Jar...

Hey everyone I hope your all having a great day! I thought I would show you how to make this super cute jar to either put in your bedroom or give as a gift (It would be amazing for a person you care a lot for), I hope you enjoy....

You will need:

Love Hearts (or any sweets in general, preferably heart shaped ones)

Mason jars or some cheap glass jars like I have I bought mine from Tesco's

Skewers x3

Pastel card for the arrow and X and O
Scissors
Sticky tape
Pencil

Instructions:

 

First to make the shooting arrow you need to cut the two ends of the skewers off and cut the pastel paper into a heart and a feather shape like this...

 

Once you have the two pieces ready, stick them on to one skewer, the heart and feather will be for the shooting arrow then the X's and O's will be on the other two skewers. To make the house shape look like a feather just cut to the centre to create something like this..

To make the X's and O's you just need to draw an X and an O on to the piece of card with a pencil and cut the shapes out with scissors.

Then pour your chosen sweets in to the glass jar. Then use sticky tape to attach the arrow to the jar and use ribbon if you want to embellish it even more!

  

Your finished product should look like this, I think anyone would be really happy to receive this as a gift!

Let me know if you try this DIY!

Brownie in a Mug

Hey guys I hope your all well today I'm going to show you how to make a brownie in a mug!

You will need...

4 Tablespoons Flour

4 Tablespoons Sugar

2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (don’t use anything that has sugar added to it)

2 Tablepsoons sunflower oil

2 Tablespoons Water

pinch of salt

Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there’s a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form.

Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done.

Let me know if you made this?
