Find a container. Use a mason jar to showcase these multilayered baking mixes—or reuse and recycle jam, mayonnaise or peanut butter jars or cereal canisters. We suggest using quart-size jars or larger.
Clean it up. Before you start, thoroughly wash and dry the jar, including the lid. Place the lid on the jar and close it to protect the clean interior.
Create a keepsake. Browse your local craft and stationery stores to find an inspiring assortment of decorative accents. Check out the scrapbooking section, too. Decorate the container to add a personal touch to each gift you give. Any of the following decorating ideas can be used separately or together.
Glitter or metallic holiday stickers, like snowflakes or stars, make any jar glisten. Position them like polka dots. Or use letter stickers to spell out JOY, CHEERS, or TREATS.
Paint pens are a fast and easy way to embellish plain glass. Try gold or silver to add instant sparkle. Add a simple, festive message like HAPPY HOLIDAYS or something more personal, right on the jar.
Or use a stencil and glass paint or a paint pen to create bold designs.
