So, for Halloween, I was able to use my Spooky Spider -and will again, and again, and again... :)
And now, I can change out the decorative slides to fit any occasion. Here's one for Christmas -
July 4th anyone?
Of course, we need one for everyday use!
*These were SO EASY to do! To figure out how big of a slide I needed, I inserted a ruler into the glass jar and measured from the bottom to the top where the glass begins to curve inward to make the lip for the lid (looking at the image above, between the asterick to just below the bottom of my watermark where it says copyright Stampin Up!). This 1 gallon candy jar was purchased at Walmart, and after measuring it, I cut my transparency lengthwise at 6 1/4 inches. This made my slide 6 1/4 x 11 inches. You definitely don't see the top and bottom edges of the slide, and it's practically unnoticeable on the sides, especially with candy in there. And the best part is that the candy keeps the slide pressed up against the sides of the jar, so no adhesive is necessary - Perfect! Just a couple other tips, keep in mind that you adhere everything on one side of the transparency, and it's this side that is pressed against the glass - so fingers won't be snagging the edges of your creations and ripping it off the slide. And, in case you were wondering, I simply used an adhesive tape runner to adhere everything to the slide - easy and clean. These were extremely quick to put together as well - I hope you try out this idea! Till next time....
