Did you catch the fun Mason jars with 3-D tags we shared this morning? This afternoon we’re back, with a bit more modern take on the treat jar idea with Amanda, from Popper and Mimi.
All year long I save cute jars and cans for those last-minute gift giving moments. Upcycling jars into treat cans is super easy and only takes a few minutes. For extra flair, make your own gift bow to put on top.
I usually choose the jar decor based on the type jar itself. The jar on the left has a very hip and modern feel so I chose a simple candy with clean lines. I chose a modern color palette and kept the tag and bow simple and crisp. The jar on the right has a more rustic and country feel so I dolled it up with festive gingham and plenty of polka dots. And just for fun, I call these the City Mouse and Country Mouse jars.
The tags on each jar are simple but still keep with the overall theme of each jar. I trim most of my tags by hand. I start with a rectangle, snip the corners, and punch a hole in the top. Add a simple sentiment to the tag and the jar is ready to give.
