I saw this idea a few times on the Martha Stewart site and I would really like to make these as stocking stuffers this Christmas. It seems like such an easy thing to do and would really take no longer than baking a cake. I have some lovely old jars that I could place these in too which would really make it a lovely gift for someone.

Living in France means that I get to find all kinds of lovely old objects. Old keys seem to be everywhere here and I’ve never really known what to do with them until now. Photocopying them seemed to work well and from this, you can use the image to découpage just about anything.

I loved this idea because not only can you recycle these horrid polystyrene containers, but the process is really simple. You could even use tracing paper and trace your design so you don’t even need to be able to draw. You could make a whole series of cards like this or just a colorful print to hang on your wall and cheer up the place.
