3 Mason Jar Christmas Gifts for Kids + Free Printable Gift Tags!
3:05 PMThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
I headed out to my local Dollar General the other day to see what gift ideas I could come up with while browsing the aisles. I was immediately drawn to their great selection of holiday mason jars. There were all different sizes and colors, and I immediately knew I wanted to turn some into DIY mason jar Christmas gifts for some kids on my list. So, I picked up some supplies for homemade playdough, some candy and a toy dinosaur for a candy jar, and some random holiday craft supplies to make a Christmas craft kit!
I was so excited to find such adorable items, they even had mini sized glue and colored pencils to fit in a jar for the craft kit. Everything was super affordable too, each of these gifts cost less than $15 to make including the packaging! Check out the tutorials below for the mason jar gifts I was able to put together. You can find these products and more at your local Dollar General.
