Dilly’s Craft Corner

Interiors Expert Dilly Orme advises to create a heart-felt Reasons Why I Love You jar.

Shower your loved one with affection by simply writing the reasons why you love them on heart shaped cards folded and put in a decorated jar. To label your chosen jar use stick on letters: HOBBYCRAFT.CO.UK have a good selection. Alternatively you can buy a ready-made option Reasons Why I Love You Valentines Jar, £12.99, GINGERRAY.CO.UK, which contains the jar, as shown, and 50 scratch to reveal heart shaped cards. Alternatively write different date ideas for a custom-made date jar. This makes a lovely birthday gift idea too, adapted for the significant birthday – for example 40 Reasons Why You Are Truly Fabulous! Choose a colour scheme for the letters on the jar and the cards inside which works with your loved one’s décor so the jar makes a lovely keepsake kept out on show.
