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?
Lovely idea! Enjoying your Friday features.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the paint sample tree.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie
ReplyDeleteFound 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.

ReplyDeleteVery 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!
ReplyDeleteThese 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!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, did you give any away at Christmas this year?
