There are lots of fun possibilities with jars, so I made up a few quick jar crafts. While I love crafting, I'm definitely all about quick & easy to do crafts. Time is important and seems to be flying by before my eyes, I can't really afford to spend 3 hours on a diy craft, you know what I mean? Hope you like these ;)
For S'mores-in-a-jar you'll need:
- jar (I bought mine from specialty bottle)
- kraft paper (I used a paper bag)
- smore ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate
- ribbon & rubberband
Place s'more items in jar.
Cut kraft paper into a square and place over the lid of the jar.
Use rubber band to hold paper over the cover.
I placed a little label on the top.
Tie with ribbon/lace/twine. Or you could just leave the rubber band!
I thought this jar idea was fun: just gather some various treasures and make a little gift!
(I used: whistle charm, typewriter key, old key, spool of twine, pocket watch, magnets)
Placed some paper lace adhesive on the bottom of the findings jar.
Then spray painted the jar top with chalkboard paint..
For this jar, I found some alphabet stamps and placed a yellow decal on the jar.
(decal from the pop-up shop)
You can also use yarn and just wrap it around the jar.
That's it! :) Any other ideas for things you can put in jars?

These are lovely x
Wow. These are really great. Totally agree with Rae Veda that these would make great Christmas gifts!
Great ideas! I love mason jars. In summer I used them, for instance, to keep watermelon balls for a snack when we went on road trips :p.
I love this! how did you make the decal for the jars?
SUCH a cute idea, I love these! I think sweet jars filled with these lovelies would make the perfect housewarming or holiday gifts for friends. Or for it's-an-ordinary-day-but-here's-a-gift days. I love those too. :) Xo, Katie
Colored decals on glass jars! Genius!
Beautiful ideas! I love love love love jars and this is just another excuse to keep buying more! :)
Such great, simple, and easy ideas! This is what we put in our jars - little paper tiny stars. http://nosurefooting.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/stars/
When we get to 1000, hopefully a wish will come true!
I wish I was getting this smore kit!!! Because nothing says "I Love You" like a smore kit =) How fun. And the yellow stick is just an awesome added perk!

these are such sweet ideas! i keep thinking that i should set some time aside and make these little jar pies for my neighbors, but i keep putting it off because of the time factor. but those little s'more jars will be the perfect alternate!
LOVE the decals too. are those the same as the ones in the pop-up shop?
i'm such a dolt - it says right under the photo that they're from the pop-up shop. oops!
These are so sweet! They would be great Christmas presents or quick birthday presents... I'm itching to make some now.
The smores kit is sooo cute! Love the idea of little gifts in a jar, quick and crafty! I really like the decals you use, where did you get them made? x

I am an RA at my university, so I give my girls jars with their favorite candies and snacks inside. I wrap them with twine and give them cards with it!!! I love jars SO much!!!
I store pasta, popcorn kernels and white/brown rice in large jars (and actually use them), and I store red kidney beans, split peas and other beans in smaller jars just to add color. Bottles and jars of all sizes and shapes. Looks great!
What a cute idea for gifts/ favors! did u just use mason jars?
I tend to collect a lot of random trinkets from my travels, so I put my treasures from each trip into its own mason jar. I love it.
Very cute! I have seen a bunch of ideas about baking cakes/pies/brownies in jars recently too. I love the decal :)
Oh, that jar idea with little vintage knick-knacks is so charming! I also realized we don't often use colored lace...which is really pretty, as you've shown!
So sweet and simple. I love your style!
these are so great! especially love the smores one. these would make such sweet party favors!
the s'more kit is such a great favor idea for a kids party or even a girls night out. thanks!
and then i fell in love with mason jars all over again.
where do you get those little decals??
These are just so darling!
this is an amazing idea! I love it!
My husband and I went to Burning Man for our honeymoon, and got given lots of little things, as it runs on a gift economy. I've put them all in a jar, along with our tickets. It looks really good, and takes up very little space, but holds the mementoes of an incredible holiday together. I've been told it's also good for children who pick up anything and everything from a trip, as you can tell them it has to fit in their 'memory jar'.
