STEP THREE
By Morgan Sprigler
Pour your oils into your small container and
secure the lid. I recommend using this container
to hold your oil instead of pouring it directly
into your decorative jar for traveling purposes.
You don’t want your oil to spill inside your box
before you present it. Additionally, the recipient
will have the opportunity to transfer the oil from
the container to the jar, which is a unique and
interactive experience.
“SCENT-SATIONAL”
THANK YOU GIFT
f you know me well, you
know I love gifts. Gifts for
any reason – especially
thank-yous. But, when
asked to create a business
thank you gift for this
month’s issue, I must admit I was a bit stumped.
I knew I didn’t want to do something redundant
like flowers or candy (not that these items
aren’t appreciated). I wanted something for you
readers that would portray your appreciation for
your co-workers or business partners that was
original and fun but still professional. I think I
have produced something thoughtful and useful
that anyone would appreciate. Read below to
learn how to make a DIY “scent-sational” thank
you guft. Happy Crafting!

STEP ONE
Begin by cutting down your dowel rods, if
necessary. This will all depend on how large
or tall your glass jar is and how high you want
your dowel rods to be. I cut mine down about
3 inches. This can be accomplished by using
regular scissors. Be mindful of who is standing
around you when cutting these, as they can go
flying. Cut a piece of twine about 6 inches long
and wrap around your dowel rods. Finish with a
simple bow and set aside .
STEP FOUR
Decorate! Using your hot glue gun, apply lace
or ribbon around the perimeter of the box. Wrap
twine around your jar and glue your flowers
wherever you see fit.
