My brother can be so hard to buy for. So most of the time I just give him money for his birthday. This year I decided it was time for a different birthday gift. Normally, I would just put money in a card. But I recently came across some cool ideas on Pinterest. I wish I could claim this idea as my own, but it wasn’t. Nevertheless, here is what I gave my brother and how I made it.
You will need
- a clean empty jar
- a cardboard tube (from paper towel or toilet roll)
- candies
- money
- wrapping paper and paint to decorate
- Cover the bottom of the cardboard tube with foil
- Decorate the jar: wrap the decorative paper around the jar, paint or cover the lid with foil
- Fill the bottom of the jar with candy
- Put the cardboard roll in the jar & top up the outside with the candy
- Put the money inside the cardboard tube
- Seal the jar & be sure not to tip it upside down or side to side & ensure you let the recipient know
