Seriously, the tiny candles are adorable!

[@KatieBookser]

Aren't they?! I love them and they're super easy to make! ❤️

[@judys5767]

My favorite is mason jar drink mix. Perhaps add a second card listing the ingredients contained in the jar.

[@nadia5210]

I was torn about which gift was my favorite, but I think I have go with the candles. I am always making candles for holiday gifts, it is great to do on a budget. You can always showcase your personality and have fun with the containers. Great way to repurpose!Plus everyone loves a candle!

[@KatieBookser]

Yes you are absolutely right! There are so many fun ways to put your own spin on making candles, I love it ❤️

[@TheRustyTrike]

Those tiny candles 🥹

[@KatieBookser]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🧡

[@deeannamilano53]

I loved all the projects but my favorite was the idea to make a drink mix in a mason jar!

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you!

[@JA-ki5gm]

Loved the tealights. So cute and unique. Need to make a variation of these. Perfect reason to save those empty tealight tins.

[@KatieBookser]

Yes definitely!

[@utsukushii79]

I love the etched glass! I may be doing something similar as a bridal shower party favor for my friends shower.

[@nicolemaust2405]

The tea light candles were very cute and unique!

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you!

[@janessashainline9558]

The first DIY was my favorite! I appreciate how thoughtful you are with reusing glass jars you already have on hand -- I wouldn't have thought to use an old glass pasta sauce jar, but that's genius! I look forward to making this jar of cocoa to share with family & friends this holiday season!

[@KatieBookser]

Yes! I try to save them whenever I can. There are so many great uses for jars 😊

[@heatherguay3330]

The etched glasses are my favorite and there’s so many ways to personalize. Such a great idea!

[@KatieBookser]

Yes totally! So glad you liked them too.

[@angiewalsh1088]

Love the Mason jar with the drink.. But as always they are all awesome.

[@KatieBookser]

Thanks Angie!

[@victoriaamparo1]

My favorite project was the pair of etched glasses! I am also a sucker for colored glass, especially yellow/amber like those in your video! Take care.

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you! Yes, I can never say no when I come across glasses like that! 😊

[@auntieyaya8381]

The glasses and tealight candles were my favorites. Thank you for inspiration.

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you!

[@stefanieb7776]

Hope all is well and your having a great start to the new year 🎉 Miss your videos 🙂

Thanks Darlene! ❤️

[@sandiduplechin5443]

Yay I love to hear that! It's surprisingly easy, and you'll want to etch everything once you get started 😊

[@ellenl5626]

The etched glasses are lovely and I will definitely try something like them!

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you Ellen! I'm excited for you to try it out.

[@tiffaniejones8408]

My favorite gift is the mocha latte!! I love this idea!

[@KatieBookser]

It's so delicious!

[@amalyousuf2217]

I honestly loved everything, you always make easy beautiful DIYs that look high end. The glass cups are beautiful I didn’t know you can do that yourself.

[@KatieBookser]

That's so sweet, thank you ❤️ Etching glasses is surprisingly simple and so fun to do!

[@jennifersilva7250]

I liked the etched glasses. I’ve always wanted to try it, but haven’t yet.

[@KatieBookser]

Thanks! It's really fun to try, and you can get so creative with it.

[@michelledavies1546]

I love how creative you are. And on a budget. Thank you. My favorite was the latte mix. I really like mixes in recycled or mason jars.

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you so much! I'm a big fan of making things that are affordable, and trying to be sustainable when I can. It's not always perfect but it's fun to try 😊

[@Ohwhale79]

Awwwww, you're so sweet! What a great giveaway! Those glasses are really beautiful. I think my favorite are the teeny tiny tea light candles though. I just love anything tiny in a tin!

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you! I do too! Anything miniature really ☺️

[@Ohwhale79]

@@KatieBookser ditto 😆

[@andreaavila7868]

The etched glasses for sure, I had already tried it and it didn’t come out as expected but after seeing your results I want to try again. ❤️

[@KatieBookser]

Definitely give it another try!

I really want to make those peppermint candles (perhaps even a bigger version) or the mason jar recipe :)

[@KatieBookser]

Yes I would totally make a bigger version of the candles, that would be so pretty ❤️

[@joannakemmerer829]

[@KatieBookser]

[@nicolecapote1724]

I really love to give mason jar type gifts to neighbors at Christmas, so the latte jars just might be my gift of choice this year. Thanks for the inspiration and the time & talent you share with us throughout the year.

[@KatieBookser]

Yes those are perfect for neighbor gifts! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support 😊

I loved all of them!

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you!

[@amberbanuelos7053]

Love the etched glasses, it’s something I’ve wanted to try for years and may finally need to give a try! Might try it on a mason jar to use in conjunction with the cocoa idea!

[@KatieBookser]

Oo I love that idea! I've never tried etching mason jars before, I bet that will be so pretty.

[@karencowlay4746]

I love the both of them tfs

[@KatieBookser]

Thanks!

[@gabby-qd2in]

Love all your diys!!

[@KatieBookser]

Thanks!

[@bridgettebollig2649]

Your creations are always simply beautiful. I love the idea of melting a candle you already have and making smaller ones❤

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you so much. I've been doing that a lot lately because I have so many half burned candles. It's fun to repurpose them in different types of containers 😊

[@caseytruman9611]

I want to make that mocha latte mix for myself! These all turned out so cute 😊

[@KatieBookser]

I just had some of the mocha latte mix last night! It's so good, and one batch lasts for a while too 😊

[@heidiortiz1256]

Hi!! All so beautiful ❤

[@KatieBookser]

Thank you!

[@JoyoftheGardenandHome]

Giant marshmallow puffs could fill up the jar...

[@KatieBookser]

Very true!!

[@Andrea-bdt]

❤️

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

Is there an effective way to make my own etching stencils?

[@KatieBookser]

I've made some before using a Cricut and a roll of vinyl, but if you don't have a cutting machine you could probably create your own stencil on vinyl with scissors and a little patience! I've also heard of people making them using wide painter's tape. You can print out a design, trace and cut it.

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

@@KatieBookser lots of options thanks! I’m pretty good with the exacto knife too.

[@willowthewisp.]

Katie come back!

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

Hi there Hi there Hi there Hi there Hi there

[@euro_babe]

love the coco one! I'm going to have to try it

[@KatieBookser]

It's delicious!
