Today I’ve got another Christmas Mason Jar Craft Idea for you, a Snowman Mason Jar. I love crafting with Mason Jars, there are so many possibilities of cute things to fill them with. For more ideas see my Mason Jar Sewing Kit and Mason Jar Santa Gifts. (this post contains affiliate links)
This snowman Mason Jar Gift is very easy to make and I’ve even included a printable for you! Just fill the mason jar with your favorite white candy (or white wrapped candy) and attach the tag and embellishments.
Snowman Mason Jar Christmas Gifts:
I chose to fill my jar with white chocolate pretzels, as I’m totally unable to resist those buggers… something about the salty sweet combo gets me every time! You could also fill them with white wrapped candies, white gumballs, or muddy buddies (that’s Chex coated in chocolate and tossed in powdered sugar- google it, you can find a recipe easily).
Snowman Mason Jar Supply List:
s (you can get them from Overstock)
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 card stock and pre-scored Avery Tags.
NOTE: AOL users, check your spam/junk folder for your email confirmation.
I’ve included 2 versions of the tags one for Avery 22802 Tags and one for plain cardstock.
3. Tags to print on. You can pick up the Avery 22802 Tags on Amazon, they are my absolute FAVORITE Christmas wrapping must have… tags that you don’t have to cut out!
5. Cardstock – if you don’t buy the pre-formatted tags.
6. Scrap of Polar Fleece
7. Bakers Twine
To Assemble the Snowman Mason Jars:
First, fill the jars with your choice of candy. Secure the lid that came with the mason jars. Next, use a bit of hot glue to glue 3 buttons to the front of the jar. To finish it off tie a scrap of red fleece around the neck for a scarf.
Quick and Easy! The last thing you’ll want to do is print out your Snowman “I’d Melt for You” Gift tag! If you want to make the gift a bit more “special” you could easily attach a gift card under the tag!

I hope its not too late! (I’ve been away from the internet this Christmas), you need Adobe Acrobat to open the tags. You can download it for free on Adobe’s website.

November 14, 2014 at 5:59 PMI love this idea & I’m making them for Christmas gifts this year but I have a question about the jars. I can’t tell from the picture … are the jars you used smooth or do they have raised lettering on them? I thought it would be hard to glue the buttons on if the jars weren’t perfectly smooth (on at least one side) but I’m having trouble finding smooth ones. If you used smooth ones, where did you buy them? I need them to be a good price because I’ll be making 30+. Thanks!
Melissa Mortenson says
November 17, 2014 at 12:10 PMThe jars are smooth.. you can buy them on Amazon or at Walmart

December 3, 2014 at 5:49 PMLove this project! Thank you so much for the tutorial and free printables! I’m currently making them for members at church! They’ll love them!
I did have a difficult time with the labels though and just wanted to pass a quick tip to others if they’re having alignment issues 🙂 I bought the Avery template labels that you used and downloaded the template from this post. I seriously printed about 6 sheets of horribly unaligned labels before I figured out what I was doing wrong! They were printing on the creases so parts of it were cut off! I was trying to print the labels on the side that has all of the Avery label info in the margins. Once I flipped it over and printed on the blank side, it aligned PERFECTLY! Just wanted to mention it in case anyone else was having issues! Haha!
Melissa Mortenson says
December 4, 2014 at 7:53 AMAlso, Make sure when you are printing from Adobe Acrobat that your page scaling is set to NONE. Otherwise Acrobat will resize the labels and they won’t fit on the sheets.

December 15, 2014 at 3:35 PMHi Melissa,
I could only find the elf printable tag. Do you have the snowman gift tag?
Melissa Mortenson says
December 16, 2014 at 1:24 PMYes, it’s on the same page as the Elf tag

December 23, 2015 at 12:01 AMThank you for this idea! I love how my snowman jars turned out! I was only going to do 5 and then ended up doing 16 big jars as gifts! And I found some awesome ribbon at michaels craft store that was green felt with red stitching on edges that worked perfect for the scarf!

November 5, 2016 at 6:22 AMLove the snowman Mason jars filled with pretzels⛄️
Could you tell me how approximately many ounces/ pounds it will take to fill a one quart jar?
Thank you

December 11, 2017 at 1:51 PMI just made some of your snowmen jars – so cute! I added a top hat by cutting a donut out of black glitter paper (from Michael’s) and putting it under the lip, and also gluing black ribbon around the lid, as well as cutting out a circle to put under the lid. I wish I could post a pic!
