So for Father's Day I made a little gift this year I made a neat little treat box for my Dad. I'm under the impression he doesn't get treats too often, but I might be mistaken. Either way, I wanted to include candy as well as non-sweet treats he could take with him when he goes out fishing with his buddies.
The examples I found online were equally as cute but used baby food bottles. There are no babies in this house, and I didn't have enough time to ask my friends to save their jars for me. This project can be made in very little time, which means I did it sort of last minute... typical for me.I got my jars from the DollarTree and drew up my labels myself in Photoshop® and everything else I had on hand. Well, except the treats of course!
I had a box that fit 6 pint sized mason jars perfectly so I covered that in scrapbook paper. You could also cover your box in the wood patterned contact paper they have at the DollarTree and make your box look a little more authentically wooden or antique.
I printed my labels out on heavy weight white paper, but I would suggest using a cream color to make it look a little more vintage.
I used my 2.5 inch circle punch for the lid labels, and they worked out perfect! I just attached the labels to the lid with double sided tape, again, on-hand.
The side labels were also simply taped on with double sided tape. I cut them out by hand. I customized my labels to say what was in each jar.
- Swedish Fish
- Gummy Worms
- Peanut M&Ms
- Sunflower Seeds
- Mixed Nuts
- Goldfish Crackers
You could use all kinds of treats but I tried to stay with the fishing theme mostly. I added some labels to the box itself and voilà! There you have a sweet little treat box for dad on Father's Day or maybe for his birthday. And it doesn't have to be for only dad, it can be for any Fisher-person you have in your life!
