A Pretty Mason Jar Gift Idea

Hey, y'all!  I have a little gift idea to share with you today.  There's just something so fun about getting or giving a gift in a mason jar.  You can be giving a very inexpensive gift, but if you put it in a mason jar, it automatically seems extra special.  So today's post is all about how to take a small gift and make it look cute in a mason jar with a pretty handmade gift tag.

 This gift idea involves creating a handmade tag using some new dies and clear stamps from Sizzix designed by Rachael Bright.

To create your own pretty mason jar gift, you'll need a few supplies.  Please note that any links used below are affiliate links.  This means that if you decide to purchase something using one of the links, a small portion of the price goes toward helping support my blog at no extra charge to you.  (Thanks!)

Supplies:

• Sizzix BIGkick
• Standard Size Cutting Pads
• Extended Multipurpose Platform
• Sizzix Thinlits Happy Home Labels & Tags Die by Rachael Bright
• Sizzix Thinlits Adjustable Length Banners Die by Rachael Bright
• Sizzix Banners and Alphabet Clear Stamps by Rachael Bright
• Clear Acrylic Block
• StazOn Ink Pad
• Baker's Twine
• Scrapbook Paper
• Mason Jar
• Glue Stick

First, you need to create the pretty tag for your mason jar.  Use your Sizzix BIGkick and the Thinlits of your choice to cut some scrapbook paper.  To do so, put the Thinlits face up on a Standard Size Cutting Pad.  Place scrapbook paper on top of the Thinlits and put another Standard Size Cutting Pad on top of that.  Place that "Sizzix sandwich" on top of the Multipurpose Platform and roll through your BIGkick.

You can then use the stamps and ink pad to embellish your tag.  Attach any paper embellishments with a glue stick.

Fill your jar with sugar scrub, bath salt, or even candy.  (I have two sugar scrub recipes HERE and HERE if you want to make your own.)  Cut a piece of coordinating scrapbook paper to fit the top of the jar, and attach the gift tag to the jar using baker's twine to complete your gift.

With the holidays swiftly approaching, this is a great way to create little inexpensive handmade gifts for your children's teachers, your co-workers, or even your friends and family.  Who wouldn't be excited to receive a pretty little gift in a mason jar?!
