Elf Jar Craft and Gift

Last week I shared with you my Santa Jar Craft and today I am excited to show you what I did with the green M&M’s that came in the bag – I made an Elf Jar!   My package of M&M’s had both red and green M&M’s in it and I didn’t want them to go to waste so I thought this would be perfect!  You really could put any treat or gift or even a gift card in the jar to giveaway as a fun gift for Christmas.

Elf Jar Craft and Gift

This is a craft that is so simple to do and something you could do with your kids.  Tie a pretty bow and note around the lid and you have a cute gift for the kids to give out to their friends or teachers.

Supplies needed:

Elf Jar Craft supplies

 

  • Jars – I used the 8 oz Crystal Jars
  • Green M&M’s is what I used but you could put anything inside
  • Red Scrapbook Paper
  • Little Bells
  • Adhesive I used Tacky Tape and mini glue dots
  • Ribbon
  • Scissors

These cute small jars are perfect for fun treats.  You can grab the jars on Amazon or Walmart. Feel the jar up with your green candy or other treat/gift.  Secure with the lid.  Now cut a 9 x 1 piece of Christmas themed scrapbook paper.  Using your scissors cut a triangle pattern on the paper.  I just freehand cut these.

Elf Jar Craft paper

I used tacky tape on the back of the paper and wrapped the paper around the jar.

Tie some ribbon around the jar and knot it at the front.  Using a mini glue dot to glue a jingle bell at the center of the knot.  It really is so simple.
