Looking to give a unique handmade gift for the holidays this year? Below you’ll find seven beautiful mason jar gifts that are perfect for Christmas!
Mason jar gifts are the perfect sweet treat for teachers, co-workers, and friends. Here are a few quick tips for success when making this handmade gift:
- Cut the bottom off of a plastic cup and use it as a funnel to easily add your ingredients into the mason jar (See a photo at end of this post — click here).
- Use a small gravy ladle (or bend a spoon!) to pat down the ingredients in between layers.
- Don’t forget to include recipe instructions as part of the gift.
- Use Avery 22802 tags for decoration.
