My DIY Ideas

Christmas Gift DIY - Mason Jars

What you'll need:

• Mason Jars
• Christmas ribbon/colored ribbon
• A hot glue gun with sticks
• Mini Christmas ornaments
• Scissors
• Christmas Labels (optional)
• Bow maker (optional)

For this project, I'm planning on fixing up some mason jars filled with cookie mix for some DIY Christmas presents. I have seen some mason jar ideas on Pinterest, but for the most part these are ideas I've thought up while working on them. 

First, I found some ribbon I had here, measured it off by wrapping it around the top of the mason jar and cut it where the two ends meet.

I used a hot glue gun to connect the two ends together, making sure the ribbon is tight around the top of the mason jar. For the ribbon with two layers, I followed the same steps as above just on top of the first layer.

After gluing the ribbon at the top of the jar, I started making the bow. I used a bow maker, but I'm sure there are other ways to make them without using it. 

  

After I made the bow, I glued my mini ornaments onto the base/middle of the bow, under the bow itself.

 I made two more like these but with different kinds of ribbon. 

another way to use these mason jars as a decoration - I used gold tinsel for the inside

This one is going to have a mini-manicure set inside as a Christmas gift instead of cookie mix. For this one, I decided not to use the mini ornaments.
