Santa Mason Jar Christmas Gift Idea

Today I am going to share with you this fun Santa Mason Jar Christmas Gift. I’ve even included a printable tag for you!  (this post contains affiliate links)

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!

I filled mine with red licorice bites but you can pick any red candy that you like.

1. Smooth Mason Jar (the best price I’ve found recently is from Overstock)

2. 1-Inch Wide Ribbon, Black Satin

3. Fashion Buckle – Gold Metallic – 1“ (you can buy these very inexpensively at a craft store in the notions section OR make your own, instructions below)

4. Believe Tag: 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.

5. Avery Tags –   These are my FAVORITE Christmas wrapping item, no cutting out tags, they are perforated and you can put them in your printer to make your own Santa tags CHEAP!!!

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 and a Buckle made a 1 1/2 inch Square Punch(or you can cut out the buckle yourself with scissors, it’s just a square!! )

Simply feed the black ribbon through the buckle and attach to the back of the Mason jar with a bit of hot glue.

To Assemble the Santa Mason Jars:

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.

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.

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.

  • Who’s up for a Summer Quilt Along? After a couple of delays (can you say Typhoon?) we are ready to launch the #LetsStayHomeQuilt Along! It will run for 8 weeks this summer and at the end you’ll have a finished quilt! I’ll be popping into my IG stories along the way to help you out and we even have a series of video tutorials to share! So if you’re brand new to quilting you can totally do this 👊🏻! All the details are in the link in my bio. Just click the link to the home page. . . . #summerquilt #rileyblakedesigns #foxfarmfabric #quiltalong #melissamortenson #polkadotchair #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram
  • I want to invite you guys to join me in a class at the Garden of Quilts festival this September. 🧵 ✂️ It’s taking place at Thanksgiving Point in Utah and I could not be more excited to be teaching. I’ll be teaching two classes. . ONE: My Santa’s Hat Shop Quilt. I’ll show you how to foundation paper piece the blocks - it’s so easy you can do it even if you new to FPP (these cute blocks were made by @the_tattooed_quilter ). . . TWO: I’ll show you how to make these fun storage bins (swipe for the photo) They are made with foam and are so useful! I have several in my house and they are great for storing everything from sewing projects to makeup. . . I’ve added a link in my bio for all of the details about the classes. I’ll also add swipe up links to my stories today. I hope I see some of you there! ❤️ Patterns are tagged in the photos -
  • Yesterday was my daughters high school graduation. Her twin brother (who is younger than her) graduated 2 weeks ago (confused yet? Cause sometimes keeping track of all of it confuses me 😂). All 3 of our kids have now graduated and sometime in the next few months we will be empty nesters. . No more car pools, choir concerts, early morning seminary or late night sports practices. There are some things I won’t miss (like planning our life around the school schedule) and some things I will miss tremendously! I know that this parenting thing never ends and we are only transitioning to a different type of “parenting stress” but I’m looking forward to what it brings. . However I have to admit that part of me is terrified about this next phase. It seems a bit lonely - but more time to sew I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️😂.?
  • Spent yesterday evening at a home show at @nortoncommonsky . I shared some of my favorite details on stories. Like this gorgeous window vignette by @gretchenblack . Each home had so many AMAZING details and the “creative” part of my brain was so happy. Also for everyone that asked- we are not moving 😂. My kids graduated high school this year / I think moving on top of that would cause me to have a nervous breakdown. Too many changes at once! 😂😂
  • Block 3 in the #justforfunquilt just posted! You can click the link in my bio to find it. I’m calling this block Sunshine and Stars ☀️ 🌟 since it reminds me of a beach umbrella. 🏖 If you’re new- the Just for Fun Quilt is a block of the month that is running on my blog during 2019. It’s free and I’d love to have you participate! I’m going to try to do a Insta Story Q&A later today if you have questions about the Quilt Along. . . #quiltingtutorial #quiltsofinstagram #quiltblock #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #blossomfabric
  • Was anyone else absolutely smitten with Gilbert Blythe growing up? I think at one point I convinced myself I was going to marry him 😂😂😂. Riley Blake has a new Anne of Green Gables fabric line (by @zippyboro ) and I jumped at the chance to make something with it! I LOVED those books and the tv show so much growing up. I decided to update my Reading Pillow pattern (I posted the first one waaay back in 2011) - a lot of you guys have asked for a basic pattern over the years (no piping or zippers) and I’m happy to oblige. I also added a second size option too! Hop on over to the blog for more info - you can also now buy a printable pattern (with 5 different pillow patterns in TVs shop). Just click the link in my bio. . . #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #readingpillow #readingpillows #kindredspiritsfabric #sewistsofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #sewingtutorial

    I love this idea for coworkers but can’t find the buckles anywhere…..any ideas? I’ve checked Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and online.
    Thanks!

    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?
