How to Upcycle Glass Jars for Valentine's Day Gift Boxes

Firstly, make sure that the jars are completely clean and dry.

Apply one strip of washi tape to the jar. I place it at the bottom of the jar.

Then since most washi tapes are kind of wide, cut it in half lengthwise and wrap the edges of the lid – I did this because I didn’t want the the pattern and the expiring date to be visible.

With hot glue, apply a strip of ribbon around the jar just below the lid place.

Make a cute ribbon bow and glue it to the jar over the ribbon where both ends meet.

We are almost done.

I made this cute 4U tag that you can snag. You will find some printable labels for the lid and a printable and cut file of the tag.

The tag can be made with your preferred cutting machine. Send it to cut in your desired size and glue both pieces together one on top of the other like shown below

If you don’t have a silhouette, you can print the printable version, cut it with scissors, or just put any tag you love there using a gold/silver {or any color} yarn.

Place the tag around the ribbon so the tag is right next to the bow.

Print and cut the cute round labels at the lid’s diameter and glue it to the top of the lid with hot glue.

Then place some cotton inside the jars and put your special gift there.

That’s it!
