Tricia's Krafty Korner

(For the record, I can't stand when people misspell words on purpose to make them cuter, I mean kuter. A few true examples ~ Kidz Kutz and Kids Kamp. Funny how it usually involves children. Aren't we trying to get them to spell correctly with the miles of spelling lists?)


On to the craft! Once you stop laughing your ars off because you know (and I know) this may be my lone craft --> you will run to Target and Staples as you still have time to create this thoughtful Christmas gift.


1. To start, I collect quotes. Not sure if there is a formal name for this but let's go with "quote collector." Even if you are not, it is easy to go online and find quotes to your heart's content. Type up a list of at least 52 quotes...one per week. I went overboard in case a few blow away or it is an especially challenging week in need of inspiration. I covered many topics and the authors ranged from Jackie Kennedy and Forrest Gump to Albert Einstein and Tennyson. I included the thoughtful, fashionable, philosophical, and hysterical. Take your list to Staples and make copies. Find the perfect color of paper ~ ivory for me!


2. Next, head to Target and buy clear jars. I chose a square utility jar with a lid. You can be creative here...utilitarian, fancy, or unique -- the choice is all yours!


3. Then, grab your shears! I used a straight edge and a pinking shear for variety. Cut your quotes into strips like fortune cookies and fold in half. Place in the jar.


4. Finally, wrap around a ribbon and a gift tag and viola! A simple, thoughtful gift that will last all year long!! Don't forget to make one for me. You know I love quotes. ;)


In closing, a quick quiz...nothing to do with the kraft.
