Jars are one of the many materials that I enjoy working with. That dear Mother of mine canned every Fall and I have the best memories of colorful fruits and vegetables filling those jars. I haven't canned much myself but, I  am always on the look out for ways to make creative use out of  jars.

Holidays and Handmade sort of go together. Oh and I am not stopping with Christmas, I'll be sharing some creative Valentine Jars too and Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

I filled my Mason jars with mints and chocolate kisses; however, the sky is limit, think about what treats you’d like to receive. How about candy canes, cookies, hot chocolate mix, or a brownie mix, let your imagination be your guide.

  1. Hi Jemma, Couldn't open the video but boy, these are cute and I'm going to remember this one for next year. This late TG really threw me off my game!

    I realized I didn't have your current address to send a Christmas card this year but shoot it to me when you have a chance. I'm so glad you are blogging again. Meanwhile, I hope you and your family have an absolutely splendid Christmas in your new home and I look forward to so much more in the new year!

  2. Oh Jemma, this is the most creative idea ever. These jars are so cute. I will have to pass your post along to the girls, as they love mason jars and putting their own goodies in them. I love hearing about your mother and all the wonderful things she used to do for her family. I especially like the snow globes, as I collect them. And the gold ribbon you added is a nice touch. I think putting tea bags or hot chocolate in there is also a fun idea. And who doesn't love chocolate Kisses? The red crinkle paper made me smile, as Jess added this to all her Christmas gifts this year. This is really a great idea, and thanks for sharing. Your creative hands always make the most beautiful things for your loved ones.

    I wish you a Merry Christmas, and thank you for your friendship all these years. : )
