I try to do something special for our neighbors, postal deliverer, and others at Christmas time. I saw this idea on Jamie Cooks It up blog post recently and thought what a wonderful idea. This year has been a little taxing on us all and we could always use a pick-me-up.
I changed it up a bit and have 52 quotes on paper for weekly inspiration. I searched for quotes online, I had everything in my stash of crafting supplies to make this project.
If you are interested in making this project, instructions are below.
You will need:
- Pint jar or container
- Paper, I used scrapbook paper
- Paper cutter or scissors
- Piece of fabric
- Ribbon
- Gift tags
- The first thing to do is to gather all your supplies.
- Determine what quotes or scriptures you would like to use. I used the scrapbook paper and in a Word document made 2 columns to fit more quotes on a page. It took 2 pages for the 52 quotes.
- After printing the quotes I used a paper cutter to cut them out.
- Fold the pieces of paper and place them in the jar/container.
- If you use fabric for a topper, I used the jar ring as a template and added 2" around, then cut out.
- Place the fabric between the ring and the lid and secure it.
- I used a 20" piece ribbon to tie the tags onto the jar.
