CHRISTMAS MONEY

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a great holiday. I want to share with you a project I did for the wonderful teenagers I have in my life.
I hate to just give money and the 'kids' love when I do something creative with it. This is what I came up with.
As most of you know, I have a baby and A LOT of baby food jars around. So I cleaned some up, painted the lids and filled them with plain holiday M & M candies.
First, I had my husband help by drilling a hole in each of the caps. 
Then, I wrapped clear packing tape around grilling skewers. I didn't want anyone to find a splinter in with the candy.
Then, I just folded the money into long strips.
Then, I used paddle wire to attach the money to the skewers. 
Finally, I attached a star to the top of each one and wrote their name in the middle. I think they came out super cute and they were a huge hit. Two of them said 'I can't take that apart...It's too cute.' haha.
