This is a fantastic idea. Make a memory jar for the new year. As the days go on write little notes of things you are thankful for. Read these next year and treasure moments that you may have forgotten about. Jar can be made from a mason jar or any recycled jar from the kitchen.
Mylar balloons can often be purchased from florists or party supply centers in many designs as well as letters and numbers. Purchase the numbers to make the upcoming year and display them for your party guests. It makes a really bold statement.
Make your favorite cupcakes and ice (anything would work for these). Make circles about four inches in diameter with a stencil (or use a lid of a jar about the size desired). Make the hands of the clock out of black construction paper and glue them down and them glue fake gem or sequin on top. Glue toothpick to the back of clock and stick it into the top of the cupcake.
What a unique Father’s Day present – Using large letters that have been spray painted white take various pictures with your little one(s) holding the letters that spell out DAD. These can be matted and framed with side by side frames. Dad will love these!
This is just such a great idea – and can be made small for personal servings or large to accommodate holding eggs or other special breads to serve with your Easter dinner…. and not as hard as you believe.
Start by covering a oven safe bowl with two layers of foil. With dough rolled out and cut into strips you will make a basket as shown on the outside of the bowl. Place a braided row at the top. Make an additional braided row for the handle. Bake following instruction for your bread recipe allowing some room to give and take.
You can cook regularly or wash the outside of basket with egg wash to give a deep golden color.
