This DIY candy jar is too cute—and it comes with printable gift tags! Why has no one told me about using a muffin liner for the lid before?!

As much as I wish I was that person who makes gorgeous homemade treats all the time, the fact is….I’m not.

Oh, I have my moments, of course. There are days when I throw back to my cake decorating era and go wild with gorgeous sugar cookies and drizzled treats. But sometimes you need a break. You need something fast. And you need something CUTE.

That’s where this homemade-ish Christmas treat gift comes in. You only need five supplies, and five minutes to work your magic. It’s ridiculously simple, but makes a stunning presentation!

Supplies Needed:

The Project:

Step 1: Clean a medium size mason jar and fill with Christmas treats. I used mini Hershey bars and mini Snickers, Twix, Milky Ways, etc.

Step 2: Place lid on top of jar, and cover with a pretty cupcake liner. Screw band on top of lid and liner.

  1. What a cute idea! I love giving homemade gifts too, and this one seems quick and easy – right up my alley! I love the idea of using a cupcake liner for the lid to make it festive! You could even put something like popcorn, chex-mix, or little cookies in there! I like to give out cookies but I usually put them in those little dollar store Christmas bags. I love this idea much better though, thank you for sharing!

    1. You’re welcome, Katherine. The cupcake lids are so easy and they give the gifts that extra bit of cuteness.
