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:
- 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.
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.
Don’t these look cute to go with my Santa Jars? If you want to see my simple tutorial for those click here –> Santa Jars
