If you are anything like me, the holiday season also means a little bit of scrambling at the last minute! I’m always a fan of easy, fun, unexpected last minute ideas for a holiday gift. And guess what? Today I have the perfect one just for you.
I give you:
Cookies in a Jar!
Here’s how you can put this simple holiday gift together in no-time.
You Will Need:
- A large Mason Jar and lid
- Brown Kraft Paper
- Scissors (I used some scalloped craft paper shears)
- Yarn
- Cookies
Step 1
Once you bake your cookies, prep your “cookie workshop” area with jars and paper.
Step 2
Once your cookies have completely cooled, stack them in a jar until they reach the rim. Cut out a square of paper to tie around your jar lid.
Step 3
Tie the paper around the lid with your yarn. Add a fun ornament if you wish!
See how easy that is? And they look great! Not too fussy, but unexpected and thoughtful.
These also make great teacher’s gifts. Happy Holidays friends and enjoy the season!
