    Santa Christmas Mason Jar gift idea

    I love to give out simple yet cute gifts at Christmas, and I love to think of clever ways to package them. This Santa Mason Jar would make a great teacher or neighbor gift! I’ve also included a few other Mason Jar Christmas Craft ideas for you as well!

    How to Make a Santa Buckle from Cardstock

    Cute Thanksgiving Pilgrim Mason Jar Gift Idea, would be cute for a hostess or teacher gift.

    Note: If you can’t find gold buckles you can use Metallic Cardstock.

    To make the buckle, cut a 1 ½″ x 1 ½″ square from black cardstock. Using a paper trimmer or Exacto knife, cut two slits in the square to feed the ribbon through. The cuts should be 1″ long.

    Simply feed the black ribbon through the buckle.

    Assembly Instructions

    Step One: Fill with Candy

    Fill your mason jar with red candy. A few ideas for you include, Licorice, red M&M’s or red gumballs

    After you have filled your jar with red candy, secure it with the lid that came with the Mason Jar.

    Step Two: Attach the Santa Belt

    Next, cut a piece of black ribbon slightly larger than the mason jar circumference.

    Feed your Santa Buckle through the ribbon.

    Then simply use a hot glue gun to secure the ends of the ribbon on the back of the jar.

    Step Three: Attach the Tags

    Print out the Santa Tags, tie it to the jar with twine, sign the back and you’re done! Note: if you’re printing directly on the Avery Tags, make sure you have your printer set to print at “100% or actual size”. Also, make sure your printer is not adding any margins to the document.

    If you’d like to make smaller mason jars you can as well! They would be equally as cute and you wouldn’t need to buy as much candy.

        Also if you can’t find the buckles (mine are from Joann’s) try using gold metallic card stock cut in a square then slit the square so you can feed a ribbon through it.

      Just hit the back button on your browser then the green download button. Also make sure you are not on an iPhone or iPad. Some safari users have reported a problem but I can’t fix it… the software I use was updated and there is a glitch.I’m waiting for a new update. My only other option is to take the downloads down, which I know no one wants me to do. If you just hit back on your browser it will work fine.

        I am having the same problem. The file being downloaded from the green button is called “link-expired.txt” and doesn’t open to the images. I’m using internet explorer from a desktop computer. When I hit the back key, it leaves the printables page and goes to the mason jar craft directions page… any other suggestions to help?

          Just click the green button again… you may not need to hit the back button if the window is still open.

      Where did you find the 1 inch ribbon for the Santa jars? I can only find ribbon smaller or larger than 1 inch.

      Thanks

        I believe there is a link to some 1″ ribbon on Amazon above.
