These jars are so cute and so easy to whip up at the last minute!

Here's what you need:

• Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®
• Cardstock Canvas Corp – Jolly Christmas sayings on white
• Jars (Target $1 section)
• Twine
• Mini Sled (optional)
• Candy (I chose Santa Hat Kisses)
• Hot Chocolate (marshmallows optional)
• Scissors
• Paper trimmer

Here's what you do:

1. Wash jars with dish soap and warm water before using. Let dry completely before filling and decorating.
2. Using your paper trimmer and scissors cut out pieces of cardstock with sayings.
3. Once jars are dry adhere your cardstock to the jars using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots.
4. Fill jars with candy, hot chocolate or other tasty treats and close lid.
5. Tie twine at top of jar in a bow – I added a little sled for decoration.

These are great to have around for last minute gifts to neighbors, teachers and friends.
