Homemade Jar – Holiday Gift
Basic Grey – Aspen Frost

Making holiday gifts for friends and neighbors is fun, and is easy on the budget! 
I am using StazOn ink because it is amazing for glass, and most materials that you don’t want it to rub off. Grab a cute saying for the holidays.



Use any type jar you want. My favorite are from sauces or salsas, they are great shapes and sizes. Stamp your saying on the jar. Might take a few times to get it perfect. If you mess up, hurry and wipe it off and try again! 



I love the velvet rub on transfers in this bundle. Cut out some of the designs you like and adhere them to the jar.



Next, grab a few snowflake or holiday-like stickers and stick them to the jar in whichever order you prefer.  



This bundle has adorable sticker strips. I used this scallop one. Pick one you like, and that fits the width of your lid. Wrap it around the lid, and just trim it to fit. 




To decorate the top of the lid, grab some fabric scraps. I used some left over tea-stained muslin. Cut it in small, ¼” x 2” strips. You can either make a bow out of it, or just crumple the strips up and adhere them to each other. Whichever you think would fit your project best. 



Attach it to the top of your lid. You can use hot glue, super glue, or anything you use. I then used some twine, wrapped it twice around the top of the jar, and attached a couple of the adorable tags from the bundle. I added a matching sparkle snowflake sticker to the tag as well. Whatever makes your gift custom and adorable! 


And here is your finished jar to fill with anything to give as a custom gift!



Enjoy!!
