These ADPi candy tins are easy to make and they make a great gift for your little sister.

Materials needed:

1. Any suitable container such as a nut container shown in picture.
2. Scrapbook paper of your choice. I used blue since it is an ADPi color.
3. A large sticker (from scrapbook store) of sorority mascot or sorority symbol or flower.
4. Paint pen to paint Greek letters on lid of container.

Tools:

1. scissors to cut paper
2. Glue stick to glue paper on container.

Make a sorority candy container.

-Making the sorority candy container shown above is super quick and easy once you have the supplies since you don't have to draw of paint anything but the Greek letters on the top.
Another idea is a sorority candy jar but it takes a little more time and effort if it the design is hand drawn and colored with colored pencils.

• I used a regular jar from my kitchen.
• I traced the lid onto drawing paper and cut out a circle that could be glued to the lid.
• I drew a teddy bear for Kappa Delta on the circle.
• After gluing the circle on the lid, I tied a matching bow around the jar. The bow really adds a lot to the gift.

When I make a gift for a specific person, I like to make a gift tag from cardstock, punch a hole in the corner and use narrow ribbon to tie the tag to the gift. On the tag you can personalize as you wish...consider using a sorority quote from our Quotes Page.

Have you made any easy sorority gifts? Please share with us your ideas.

Cards can be so easy to make and yet a handmade card gives more to your sorority sister than any bought card ever could.

The easiest card to make would be one with scrapbooking cardstock in your sorority colors embellished with stickers of your sorority mascot or flower.

Use markers or Sharpee pens to write your message. (it is a good ideas to practice writing your message on plain paper first so that you can see how it will look first.  You will probably be able to do a better job on the actual card if you practice first.)

The card in the picture is an M & M card. I covered up the M&M in the middle with the hand-painted lion.  A simple drawing like this one of the lion mascot is very easy to draw and paint.  Then I cut it out and glued it onto the card making a very special card.

For a standard card, fold a piece of scrapbooking cardstock (in your sorority color of course) in half. Decorate with your own painting, drawing, or use stickers or rubber stamp designs that represent your sorority's mascot, flower, letters, or whatever you like.

Choose a quote or poem to express your message or by all means, write your own.
