I have such a deep respect for our TrashBin Raider and our Card-Ologist that I made a project that combines both their “art” --- saving something headed for the trash and making a card to go with it. Expect the columns of Jozzie Wilhelm and Airees Rondain in the next website update.

I am a Prima addict. I share the same addiction with Angela whose Prima collection I often imagine in my scrapping hours. It isn’t just the gorgeous flowers that make me want Prima a lot. This might sound crazy but I love Prima packaging as much too! Prima flowers are so wonderfully packaged I still have to throw a Prima container ever.

For Father’s Day, I decided to make my Dad a scrapped token. I know he’d love it since I’ve seen his appreciation on all the “projects” I’ve made for the rest of the family. This time, I decided to make him one that’s NOT a scrapped page or mini. I wanted it to be special.

I decided to make him a candy “bottle” full of colorful, chewable mints that will convey the message: Cool Dad.

Materials Used together with a Prima “milkbottle”
(1) Chatterbox Scrapbook Walls * Beach Dot * bought from My Little Attic (2) Bazzil Cardstocks * Aqua, Orange, Red, Blue, Yellow * SMILE (3) K&Company * Chipboard Diecut and Alphas * Pressing Matters (4) Gin X Imagination Project Coasters * Andrew - Raw White * Lasting Impression (5) EK Success Sticko * Ingredient Stickers: Father * Memory Box (6)  Making Memories * Aquamarine Liquid Acrylic * SMILE (7) AMM Expressions * Metal Sayings * SMILE (8) Pebbles Inc. * I-Kandee * Pressing Matters (9) Blue Leather Strips, adhesives, chain, word-plastic tags and matching beads from Hobbes and Landes.

Procedure:

1. Measure the circumference of the sterilized Prima “milkbottle” and add 1 inch for the label overlap. Cut the measured size from your printed sheet. Embellish with punched-out “matching” cardstock dots, stickers, grand adhesions. Attach the label on the bottle using a double adhesive tape for a lump-free finish. Set-aside.
2. Overlap and attach (via gluedots) the letters to each other forming the word “Dad.” Apply acrylic paint on both sides and let dry. Puncture a hole somewhere on top and slip a ring to easily strew-in on a chain together with an I-Kandee metal embellishment with a metal chain for the “manly” finish. 
3. Cut out a strip of printed sheet, attach to a chipboard strip and make out a tag. Adorn with “metal” stickers. Journal at the back. String with a blue leather strip and ribbon around the bottle
4. Make out a 5x7 aqua cardstock card and adorn the front with a cut of the same printed sheet used in the label. Spell out “Dad” with your K&Co alpha chipboards. Attach with gluedots. Finish off with a matching “metal” sticker.
5. Fill-up your “milkbottle” with colorful, chewable methol candies that match the color of your punched-out dots adorning the label and you’re done!

PS: My Dad loved my gift so much that the bottle now adorns his table. He has yet to touch his “candies” preferring to just “look and appreciate” my work (daw!) Probably because it’s the first time I ever labeled him “cool!” Haha!

The project will take you less than 30 minutes to do.

The hardest step was to apply and dry the acrylic paint on the coaster letters. Skill level: Beginner. A breeze. Now who said men can’t have Primas?
