What you require

Keepsakes in a test tube: Here’s how to do it

1. Create the template

What makes your keepsake in the test tube unique is the personal note you inscribe on the glass. If you are proficient with freehand writing and drawing, you can easily skip this step. Others should prepare a template on paper. Print a quote in an appealing font or simply write your message on the paper. Small designs such as stripes, hearts, or dots perfectly enhance your writing.

2. Insert the template into the test tube

Gently roll your template and slide it into the jar. The paper will naturally unfurl inside the glass. Ensure that everything is positioned straight so your design does not appear skewed later.

3. Transfer the template onto the glass

Now you can trace your template using the fiber pen or embellish your test tube freehand with sweet words and designs. For a particularly vibrant outcome, use pens in various colors. Always allow the hues to dry thoroughly between pen changes.

Tip: If you use colorful chocolate buttons as the filling, make sure your motif isn’t too bright and intricate, as it may not be visible later.

4. Fill the keepsakes into the test tube

You can now fill your keepsake in the test tube. Whether it’s the aforementioned chocolate buttons, sweet love beads, small gummy bears, or even a rolled-up voucher – you can stuff your jar with any items that fit! You may also customize the filling to match the season or a special occasion. Small Easter eggs are ideal for the upcoming Easter, while red heart candies make a fantastic wedding gift.

5. The final touches

Seal your keepsake in the test tube with the appropriate cork and adorn the top with ribbons, fresh flowers like roses and gypsophila, or chic dried flowers. With such decoration, your craft will be a true visual delight!
