Do you have a Sonic in your town?  Between their half price drinks in the afternoons and their half price shakes at night, the 10 blocks between my house and Sonic is well traveled every summer, which means I end up with a lot of these:

When I saw the empty cup holder sitting on my counter next to an empty canning jar, I realized it was the perfect combination to send some goodies to work with my husband.

I started by taping the box with clear packing tape to make it a little sturdier.  Two layers around:

and then I taped across the entire bottom.

Now to make it pretty – uh embellished in an appropriately manly way.

I cut strips of paper to size for each side of the box, and three inches high.

I just used a glue stick to adhere the strips onto each side; since my next step is to wrap it with twine, I didn’t need to worry about using a stronger adhesive.

Next, I wrapped around the middle of the paper with twine, using a few dots of hot glue here and there to keep it in place.

I used a simple word document to print out labels for the jars, and a label for the box.  The circles for the tops of the jars are 2 inches each.  The bigger label is 2 1/2 inches.

Cut them out carefully, and Mod Podge the jar labels onto the jar lids by applying a thin layer of Mod Podge to the lid with a paint brush, and then rubbing the label with your fingers until it adheres and dries flat.  After it dries a few minutes, put a thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper as well, to seal it and set aside to dry.

I made the sign for the front of the box by gluing the printed label onto layers of scrapbook paper with a glue stick:

Then glue onto the front of the box with a generous amount of hot glue.  For a finishing touch, I hot glued twine around the handle as well.

Fill the bottles with your man’s favorite treats:

Add the labeled lids:

and deliver!
