    Jar of Hearts, Valentine’s Day Mason Jar Gift

    Updated: Feb 17, 2020 by Melissa Mortenson · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 10 Comments

    I LOVE Mason Jars! Today I’ve got a fun idea for a Mason Jar Valentine’s Day Gift for you! It’s simple to do and make a great gift for a friend, a teacher or co-worker.

    Valentine's Day Mason Jar Gift Idea w/printable tags

    This simple Valentine’s Day gift idea features a mason jar full of “hearts”, heart-shaped chocolate to be exact! To jazz up the jars a bit I’ve added a cupid’s arrow piercing one of the hearts in the jar. I’m excited to share a tutorial with you today teaching you how to make the jars. I’ve even included a free printable Be Mine Valentine for you!

    DIY Valentine’s Day Mason Jar Gift Idea & Printable:

    To make a Valentine’s Mason Jar you’ll need:

    • Mason Jar
    • Printable Tags – follow the directions in the gray box below to download.
    • Bamboo Skewer
    • Chocolate Hearts
    • Piece of printed cardstock 1 ½” x 3”
    • Heavy Duty hole punch like a cropadile
    • Twine

    How to Get the Printables. You can get a copy of the printable featured in this post in our Printable Library. Access to the library is for our Newsletter subscribers, and subscriptions are FREE. Please follow the instructions to obtain the printable. PLEASE READ the instructions on that page. Note: Printables in the library may not be sold or used for commercial purposes.

    Valentine's Day Gift Idea and Free Printable Valentines!

    Step One: Punch a Hole in the Mason Jar Lid

    Use your crop a dile to punch a ¼” hole in the top of your mason jar lid.  Then feed your bamboo skewer through it.

    Step Two: Add Chocolate to Skewer

    Place one chocolate on the sharp end of the skewer (so no one pokes themselves).

    Step Three: Add “feathers” to the Arrow

    Then fold the 1 ½” x 3” piece of cardstock in half lengthwise, cut into an arrow shape and fray the edges with your scissors.

    Punch a ¼” hole in each end of the paper and feed through the other end of the skewer. (I also added a bit of washi tape for decoration)

    Finishing:

    Put the lid on the mason jar and fill with chocolate.
