How To Make Gifts In A Jar

Most gift jar recipes require a quart jar, large or small mouth opening. I
find though a large mouth works easier to get the ingredients in.

Besides a quart jar with lids, you will need a large rubber band. A piece of
material 8x8 square. Ribbon to decorate.

After filling the jars, place a beautiful piece of material cut into about a 9 inch round and place on the lid. Put the rubber band around it to secure it in place.

Tie with decorative ribbon and tie the recipe card to the ribbon

The recipe card should have the directions on how to mix and bake the ingredients. If you have a printer, print out the tag onto a colorful piece of paper or onto adhesive paper. You could get fancy and have your cards printed professionally
. . . especially when you deciede to turn this craft into a business.

When putting in the ingredients, make sure to pack them down tightly. If you have
loose ingredients like nuts, M&M, raisins, etc. make sure they are the next
ingredient on top of packed brown sugar.

If the next layer is to be white sugar or flour, the white sugar or flour will seep through the nuts, M&M, etc some what. Also when using cocoa, wipe inside of jar before adding another ingredient to keep jar looking nice.

Decorate your jars for the current occasion or holiday and have fun and giving the jar gifts to a friend!
