Perfectly Preserved Hand Sanitizer

I wanted to share another one of my fun little projects I made to sell at my November vendor event.  If these are a hit, I plan on making some Christmas ones for a craft show I am participating in on December 1st.  Let me know what you think!!


I found these cute little hand sanitizers at Bath & Body, and was thrilled that they coordinated so well with our Orchard Harvest DSP.  And what better way to display the "gift" then in a jar!!  The Cannery Set Framelit Dies were not a favorite of mine when the Holiday Catalog came out, but after seeing SO many projects that they were used for, I just had to have them, and am so glad I did.

Here are the dimensions of the box itself, which I created first.  Once you have it cut, scored, etc. it is very simply constructed by using a piece of Sticky Strip on the bottom middle section and on one end.  I then put the "jar" on the front and back.  I used the jar topper on the front, but left it off of the back.

I used the 1 1/4" circle punch on the front, simply stapled a coordinating ribbon on either side, using my wonderful Tim Holtz stapler, and there you have it.  What a simple and fun little gift!!  Here is a look at the other three designs.

  1. Very darling project! It's perfect for a little "thank-you" for the preschool teachers I work with! A couple of questions, please: what does the back look like? Can't tell if you used a cannery framelit piece for the back, too. Do you attach the ribbon to the die, or to the box? Thanks for sharing a really cute idea!
