Last summer my apricot tree gave me a bumper crop of gorgeous, juicy, fuzzy apricots. There were so many that I didn’t know what to do with them!  So, over the summer I made some into apricot sauce and some were mixed with lemon juice and sugar and put into the freezer for safe keeping. I recently had a desire to make some more jelly (because getting a new freezer that’s smaller than the other one you previously had will do that to you!) and whipped up a mini batch.

Savannah, my sweet daughter, asked if she could take a jar over to her boyfriends family. Well, I couldn’t let that jelly jar leave the house undecorated!  I jumped into action and cut out a circle of fabric, a circle of vellum and got to work decorating.

I used some of the beautiful Simply Sheer ribbon from Lovebug Creations and created a cute double bow. This ribbon is White from the Christmas Candy collection.

I embossed this adorable deer image onto the vellum and I had a cute jar of jelly ready for Savannah to take over! Easy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now it’s time to show you what I made.

Scarlet Calliope Christmas Hop 1
  1. I bought a simple, undecorated votive at the grocery store and wrapped it with a vintage music sheet.
  2. Next, I added a strip of red paper at the top and bottom of the music sheet on the first votive.
  3. Then, I used a red scalloped circle, layered with an aqua scalloped circle and using foam dots placed my angel on top.

Scarlet Calliope Christmas Hop 5

I used Mama’s Mesh from the Merry Mesh Collection, along with some red ribbon from the brand new Simply Sheer in Christmas Candy. I also used some Rosebud Rumple Ribbon, and some Butterfly Blue Rumple Ribbon.

Scarlet Calliope Christmas Hop 2

I tucked in some sparkly details and attached a vintage Christmas ornament to finish it off.

Scarlet Calliope Christmas Hop 4

For the next two votives, I simply attached some tinsel to the back of the scallop and some silver glittered beads to the bottom.
