Mason Jar Christmas Gift

I'm back! I hope you've been enjoying the Blog Feature Friday posts. I know I sure have been! All of the posters have had such great ideas. (If you would like to be featured, please let me know!)

This week I am giving some gifts to ladies who help out at our MOPs by watching our kids. I wanted to give them all something that would be a cute Christmasy type thing, but also be useful in the future (and not cost a fortune). Here's what I came up with.


 I love, love, love the candy cane peppermint sticks from the Cracker Barrel store and they fit perfectly inside my little mason jars that I had on hand. I had some green paint chips left over from a project we did and cut them into little Christmas tree shapes for the tag. I got the idea from Pinterest. Simply punch a hole and tie with twine around the jar.


I also got the idea to use cupcake liners as a mason jar lid from Pinterest.


I think they turned out really well! What do you think?

    Hi Katie
    Found your blog via Making the World Cuter's linky party. I love projects using mason jars. Your holiday Christmas treat gift is adorable. I'm also a fan of paint chips -- so mason jars and paint chips, l.o.v.e. both!
    Now following you! Please come by and visit me at http://altered-artworks.blogspot.com when you have a chance.

    Very cute! I just did a Thanksgiving project with mason jars for preschool teachers and have been trying to figure out how to use the leftover jars for a Christmas treat. Love the paint chip trees!

    These are so adorable! What a great little gift-holder. :-) This would be perfect for me this season as I have some gifts to give that come in small packages. And the paint chip tree is adorable! Thanks for the inspiration!
