This year I made reindeer food for the little ones and didn&#8217;t want to just put it in a baggie. I decided to use a mason jar and jazz it up a little.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_136844\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 460px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136844\" src=\"http:\/\/images1.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/IMG_04091.JPG\" alt=\"Kathy Zengolewicz\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kathy Zengolewicz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Here is what you will need to make this decorative jar:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>An empty glass canning jar (any size)<\/li>\n<li>A swatch of Christmas fabric<\/li>\n<li>1 inch red satin ribbon<\/li>\n<li>Rickrack (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Double sided tape<\/li>\n<li>A hot glue gun<\/li>\n<li>Fabric glue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First, cut out a piece of fabric to wrap around your jar. Measure and cut the rickrack for the top and sides and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Wash and dry your mason jar. Make sure that the jar is thoroughly dry before applying the fabric to the glass. You might want to give it a quick wipe with a little bit of alcohol to take off any grease.<\/p>\n<p>Put some double sided tape, in the middle of the jar and wrap it around three quarters of the jar. Affix the fabric to the tape, placing the band of tape in the middle of the fabric. Peel the top back and apply glue to help the fabric stick. Do the same with the bottom of the fabric. Smooth the print with your fingers to remove any creases.<\/p>\n<p>Let it dry for a few minutes, then put a strip of red satin ribbon around the top and bottom of the cloth and run it around the entire jar. Use the double sided tape to hold the ribbon in place. Hot glue the rickrack to the ribbon and let it dry.<\/p>\n<p>Use the top insert in the lid and trace a piece of fabric to cover the lid. Cut out the fabric, add a little bit of hot glue and put the outer lid back in place.<\/p>\n<p>Now you have a decorative container in case you want to make reindeer food. Or you can use it for anything. I made a few and I use them to give gifts of peppermint sticks. I have receive lots of compliments on these jars. You will too!<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/decorative-mason-jar\/\">Decorative Mason Jar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you ever have a dilemma about what type of a package to wrap something in?
