"American Girl" Friendship Jar

This year my husband and I will not be home for the 4th of July. I want my daughter to know we are thinking of her on the 4th, so I got her some flowers and made a cute tag with the new PTI Friendship Jar set. The tag is stamped in Enchanted Evening ink and filled in with the polka dot filler stamped in a royal blue ink. I used one of the dies to make a little ruffled collar and stamped it with stars. The little tag from the set is stamped with a cheap little stamp from Michaels and says "American Girl". My daughter Carly used to love the American Girl song by Carrie Underwood, so this sentiment was perfect for her. I added a few stars, some silver glitter and two mini flags and the tag was complete. I made a simple band to go around the quart jars I bought for less than $1 each. The band is attached with scoretape and a 12" strip just goes around the jar exactly, not a sliver to spare. I think next time I will at a little more paper to be able to wrap it around with a little overlap. One detail I added was the red, white and blue ponytail band stars that fit around the jar. They made a really easy embellishment to simple jar. I gave the flowers to my daughter today right before we left along with some mini-cupcakes with little flags in them. I think she gets it that we will be thinking of her while we are gone. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July holiday!
