Happy Holidays! Christmas is almost here and this is my first DIY Gift idea! This one is super easy to make so if you are a procrastinator like me don't worry I got you covered! These Chalkboard jars are so cute and would make such a nice gift! I have more easy DIY gift ideas coming later this week so follow my blog to be updated when those are posted!
What you will need
- Self Seal Jar - I purchased mine at Craft Warehouse for $4, but you can get them at any craft store.
- Chalkboard vinyl - I used an adhesive one so it stuck right to the jar and was really easy!
First thing to do is to wash the jar that way it is ready for any food or ingredients you are going to put into it when it's finished
Next, grab some chalkboard vinyl or chalkboard stickers. I used vinyl and I used a cricket cutter to cut out my shape. Chalkboard stickers are a great alternative and really easy because then you won't have to cut anything out. You can purchase these at any craft store!
To get my shape I just googled "text frames" and chose an image to use. If you don't have a cricket cutter then you can just print out the shape and use it at a stencil to cut the vinyl.
Then just stick it on the jar and you are done!
You could put anything inside the jar that you want! You could put food or you could also put other fun items they would enjoy, like spa items or cooking items! I think a really cute idea is to put the dry ingredients of a cookie, cake, muffin, or anything you know the person would enjoy! Inside mine I put the dry ingredients of gingerbread cookies from the recipe I posted yesterday. Then I wrote out the rest of the directions and wet ingredients on a little tag.
I finished off by decorating the jar with some Christmas ribbon! Stay tuned the rest of this week for more DIY gift ideas, they are all really affordable and make great gifts!
