Monogrammed Glass Cookie Jar ~ Diane's Vintage Zest!

Monogrammed Glass Cookie Jar

Last month, I was invited to a friend and her husband's birthday party.  Yes, they have the same birthday!  The year before, I made a beautiful (and time-consuming) nectarine tart from scratch.  I knew that I would not have as much time to get a gift together AND I needed it to be a joint gift, which made it a bit harder.

They were married less than a year ago (I wore this dress to their winter wedding), so I decided to do something a little sneaky.  I stole the monogram from their wedding invitation!  It was for a good cause, of course.  :)

In the end, I made a Monogrammed Glass Cookie Jar for them to enjoy their sweet life and sweet desserts together!



I used Silhouette Studio to trace the monogram from a scan of their invitation.  Then, I used the vinyl as a stencil for the glass cookie jar I purchased.

Next, I filled it with cookies.  Ordinarily, I would have made the cookies myself.  However, with no time on the clock, I filled it with my favorite storebought ginger snaps.  Delish!

As always, I included the "sticker" of the design as a bonus gift.  :)

It's not a tutorial, but I figured that some of you might like this idea for a future gift, or even for your own cookie jar.  Also, it is a wonderful way to dress up what would be a boring storebought gift.

Enjoy!
