  • 6 red, 6 white and 4 blue felt sheets

Mother’s Day Craft: Mother’s Day Gift Jar

May 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I must be going through some sort of jar phase because it seems like every craft I want to do lately involves a jar.  I really think this gift idea from Better Homes and Gardens is such a sweet idea.  It would be so fun for the kids to do this for Grandma for Mother’s Day.  To be honest, I would love it if my kids did this for me!  I think we all have those days where everything seems to go wrong.  How great would it be to have a jar full of reasons to smile right at your fingertips?!  That could brighten any bad day!

Here’s what you need to make this:

  • jar with lid
  • 1 inch strips of colorful or patterned paper
  • paper for front label
  • small stickers or tape
  • ribbon
  • markers or crayons
