These jars are so cute and so easy to whip up at the last minute!
Here’s what you need:
  • Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®
  • Cardstock Canvas Corp – Jolly Christmas sayings on white
  • Jars (Target $1 section)
  • Twineglue-dots-holiday-jars-instep
  • Mini Sled (optional)
  • Candy (I chose Santa Hat Kisses)
  • Hot Chocolate (marshmallows optional)
  • Scissors
  • Paper trimmer
Here’s what you do:
  1. Wash jars with dish soap and warm water before using. Let dry completely before filling and decorating.glue-dots-holiday-jars-finished
  2. Using your paper trimmer and scissors cut out pieces of cardstock with sayings.
  3. Once jars are dry adhere your cardstock to the jars using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots.
  4. Fill jars with candy, hot chocolate or other tasty treats and close lid.
  5. Tie twine at top of jar in a bow – I added a little sled for decoration.
These are great to have around for last minute gifts to neighbors, teachers and friends.
