I love this cute apothecary jar cut file from the SVG cuts set Toil and Trouble and the tall version is the perfect size to hold two layers of Smarties, my daughter’s favorite candy! I decided to make it out of acetate so that she could see the candy inside. It went together pretty easily, I just hate using glue because I am so messy! The tabs on the lid are pretty small and you shape it as you go, so there was no way to use my ATG gun, so I had to use my Stampin’ Up! 2-Way Glue. I am going to make another one for my son also. He is not a big candy eater, so I’m not sure what I will put in it, but it is just too cute not to make him one!

I can’t believe you made this! It’s fabulous! Stop making me want a Cameo!
They just announced a new smaller cutter, the Silhouette Portrait. It cuts up to 8 inches wide and 15 inches long, smaller than the Cameo and cheaper too! I am absolutely in love with my Cameo, but I would have bought the smaller Portrait if it had been available. I rarely need the larger format and ca usually find a way to do what I need to in the smaller format. I buy mostly 8.5 x 11 cardstock, so that is what I use most.
This is just the cutest project! Thanks for the info you gave on the SP. I’ll have to check it out. I have my eye on the Cameo, but haven’t taken the plunge yet.
This turned out super cute! You could always fill his with goldfish or pretzels:-) or pennies. Who wouldn’t want $$ even if it is pennies.
What a fabulous presentation of those special Halloween treats!!
