Gotta Make It: Nuts for You Valentine Gift

"I'm nuts for you!"

Nutsforyou I'm a dork.  Ask my husband, family, or friends and they will all tell you that I am a dork through and through.  Things like these cheesy gifts and sayings make me smile.  I've embraced my dorkness and have decided that its a positive attribute.  It makes others laugh WITH me and it makes ME laugh so how could it possibly be negative as some people perceive the word 'dork'? My dorkness brought this Valentine's gift to light.  My hubby loves mixed nuts so I created this "Nuts 4 U" jar full of mixed nuts.  Of course its super easy, super quick, and super cute...so there's no reason not to do it!

MATERIALS:

Empty glass jar
Paper
Ribbon
Embellishments

TO DO:

1.  Clean out an old spaghetti sauce jar or buy some empty ones.
2.  Attach ribbon with glue gun to glass jar.
3.  Cut paper to size and attach with glue gun.
4.  Embellish with stickers, flowers, letters, numbers, etc
5.  Fill with nuts

See...I told you....it was super easy, super quick, and super cute!  Did I mention that its super cheap inexpensive?   Have fun with your ideas this Valentine's Day and see if you can come up with a gift that will not only put a smile on their face, but make them laugh!

Be inspired, get creative, and have fun!

I love this! I am definitely going to make one for my husband for Valentine's Day. He loves cashew nuts, and always like to have his own private stash. This is just adorable...thanks for the idea!
