Today I have a fun and simple Handmade Christmas Gift idea for you. This fun Elf Christmas Mason Jar Gift! Fill it with candy and gift to family and friends this Holiday!
Last year I shared a very simple Santa Claus Mason Jar Christmas gift idea, today I’m going to share with you an Elf Christmas Mason Jar Gift Idea and Craft…
I was astonished how popular the Santa Mason Jars became, I posted it and next thing I knew it was all over Pinterest and stayed there all year long. It was funny to me because of all of the things I’ve made it wasn’t what I would have picked to go viral. Later in December last year, I made it a “friend” this snowman mason jar, inspired in part by the Frozen phenomenon that was sweeping the nation. This post includes affiliate links
This year I thought that the little mason jars needed one more friend, and since you all seemed to like the others so much, I decided to go ahead and add an Elf to the mix this year.
It’s the same idea as the other two. Very simple mason jars filled with colorful candy and easily embellished. I also included a printable Christmas gift tag to go with the jar.
To make this you’ll need :
1. Elf Tags: Due to the popularity of the tags last Christmas I am simplifying the process for you to download ALL of my Christmas Mason Jar tags.
The Ultimate Christmas Tag Bundle offers ALL of the Christmas tags (including the one for this craft) plus a bonus of 5 other tags that are not offered with any other project! (including Santa, Reindeer, Merry Christmas, Snowman etc). It’s only $1.99 and you do not need to subscribe to this site. It’s a one-time purchase.
A link to download the file yourself will be sent to you immediately after you complete your purchase. This file includes versions of the tags formatted for BOTH cardstock and pre-scored Avery Tags.
NOTE: AOL users, check your spam/junk folder for your email confirmation.
2. Avery Tags or Cardstock —the tags on plain cardstock or save yourself some effort and print on perforated tags (the printable is formatted for these tags, they are my absolute MUST have Christmas wrapping item, no cutting out tags!!)
3. Smooth Mason Jar:
6. Green Candy – I used mint M&M’s
Instructions:
All you do to make the jar is cut a zig zag pattern in the red felt and glue it around the neck of the mason jar. Then add the buttons (also with hot glue) and tie the tag on. To add an extra touch I tied a tiny jingle bell onto the tag.

Love those mason jars and the tags – thank you.
So cute Melissa! I love all of them!
Thank you for the cute, easy idea!
Even though I have subscribed, I haven’t received a “password”… I tried a few times more and also checked my spam folder. Am I doing something wrong??
You know the email that contains the link that says “Activate your subscription to: Polka Dot Chair”… it’s in that email, just below the link. Let me know if you don’t see it.
Oh this is SO cute! I’d love to download the adorable tags, but unfortunately, I don’t have the password. I’m already an email subscriber, and I followed the instructions for the password, but no email was sent. I’m lost…
Did you get the email that said ” Activate your email subscription to: The Polka Dot Chair” ? It’s in that email, just below the activate link.
I’ve been subscribed for awhile and no longer have the activate email with the password. How can I get it now so I can download these cute labels for the mason jar?
sending you an email.
I went to the link and registered but I cant find the elf tags shown in the photo. The “Holly jolly Christmas” link is for a round tag. Help?
They are at the bottom of the list on the templates page
i would like to see a reindeer tag with chocolate pretzels these are neat ideas i’am making them for our cookie exchange
These are soooo cute! Thank you so much for sharing. Do you remember how many bags of M&M’s you used for each jar? I’m just trying to calculate how many I need to buy. I’m thinking you used the 16 oz. jars, right? Thanks!
I believe it was 1 and 1 1/2 of the large bags for each jar… maybe close to 2 bags///
I have tried to print these labels. I bought the correct labels. I have waited about 4 sheets of these labels so far. They are not lining up right. I can only get two labels per sheet right. Help! I don’t want to waste $18 on labels.
When you are in Acrobat make sure you have page scaling set to “none” or “actual size”. Do not click “fit on page”
How many m&ms did you use for the Elf? Trying to figure out how much i need to buy for 12 elfs…. they come in 8oz packages
I wouldn’t buy 8oz packages, you’ll need way to many. My local Target had big bags of them. I think it takes about 1 1/2 -2 per jar, depending how full you want them.
I love this idea and I LOVE the font that says Elf Mason Jar Christmas Gift! (on the picture of the jar) Would you share which font it is? Thanks so much! I love your blog!
Oh I think a few people in our family will be getting these this year for sure! Thanks for the great ideas.
Super cute mason jar ideas! I especially love the snowman. :)
Even though this post was 2 years old, I loved it! I purchased your cute label set because I didn’t want to make my own. lol. Sparkle-tastic! Thank you.
I tried to order tags – unfortunately you do not ship to Canada. Don’t know why since it’s a digital file. Disappointing!
It’s due to taxes. I can’t file them in Canada for products I sell. You can order them on etsy (they take care of the taxes for me) etsy.com/shop/polkadotchair
