 
Hi there!! Today marks another fabulous JustRite Stampers Blog Hop. Today we are sharing gift ideas using JustRite. I have an altered item to share with you today and something that will hopefully come in handy for the crafter. Using JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers I created a set of pincushions using canning jars and with JustRite Preserves Borders and Centers I put together a tote to cover and carry them.
Here is the whole set stored and ready to put away. :-)
Here are the pincushions themselves, they contain buttons and perle cotton plus pins. They were made using little canning jars I purchased at the Container Store.
Here are the pincushions in their tote around caddy. When finished the lid can just be put over them and back on the shelf they go.
Are you surprised to see a recipe box? The recipe box makes the caddy. This one was purchased for $1.00 at Michaels. I turned it over, covered it with paper then added the handle :-)

Hello there!! I had the idea floating around in my head that I wanted to do another ornament box, but something easy. So I purchased one of the $1.00 or $1.49 square gift boxes at Michaels and altered it so that it would be an ornament box that opens on all sides to reveal the ornament inside. It’s very similar to those little scrapbook boxes that open up on all sides. I used the new JustRite Decorative 2" Round Wide Borders and created a medallion using Spellbinders Stars Five, Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and Small, and Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles Large. On the inside of the medallion I’ve used JustRite Merry Little Christmas Borders and Centers.
Using a round clear ornament, I filled it with strips of curlicued ribbon and tied a bow on top. The face of the otherwise round ornament is flat, so I created another medallion using the same die templates and JustRite sets, just in a different order. Below ou see a picture looking down on the box when it is opened up and laying flat.
To make the matching box for the ensemble, I took my exacto knife and cut down through each corner of the box so that it would lay out flat. I then took my design paper and covered both the bottom and lid making sure that the box could flex back in to an upright position. This box was already covered with decorative paper, so I had to make sure that my paper covered the original decorative paper. To get the ornament to stay put I took a round label holder piece of hardware that pretty much looks like a ring and glued it to the bottom of the box. The box is much more study than if I had made my own – and cheap!!
