This post is sponsored by JOANN Stores and VELCRO® Brand. All DIY ideas and text are mine. Add a little holiday cheer by personalizing food storage container lids with a little card stock and VELCRO® Brand fasteners. Just cut card stock leaves using my free pattern and attach to the wreath shape using VELCRO® Brand Adhesive Dots —  I love these little dots because they stick immediately so the leaves and berries don’t slide around:

Then attach the wreath to your food storage container lid using VELCRO® Brand Removable Poster Hangers for easy removal when the party’s over.

Maybe I came up with this idea for to deflect attention away from my very basic baking skills. It’s possible. But I’m sure that *your* goodies inside will look as good as the outside, yes?

I couldn’t be more excited that JOANN Stores featured this VELCRO® Brand-sponsored DIY project in its national advertising holiday catalog, right here in the bottom left on page 17:

And here’s the JOANN project instructions flyer:

You can download the PDF here or visit JOANN.com and click the green “Download Project” button. (I noticed that the flyer asks you to increase the pattern on a copier to fit your lid, but if you want a shortcut, here’s my wreath pattern that fits roughly a 7″ x 7″ working surface.)

Thanks to VELCRO® brand fasteners for sponsoring this DIY project. And cheers to a memorable, Martha-esque pot luck.

Great idea. I always end up using an ugly plastic container after spending hours on cookies. Great way to dress it up and make it look special!

I love this idea! I spend so much time making cookies for my office and now I can decorate my lid for an extra "wow." Thanks for the inspiration!
