ITEMS YOU NEED:
- mason jars
- spray paint
- Valentine peanut M&Ms (or other red, pink and; white candy)
- carsdstock
- letter stamps (see below for options)
- Distress Ink
- baker's twine/jute/ribbon
DIRECTIONS:
1. Fill the jar with M&Ms/candy, layering the colors as you go. Two bags of M&Ms filled these three jars, with a few leftover.
2. Spray paint the lids and let dry completely. If you're doing more than one jar, it's fun to spray the lids different colors, then mix and match.
3. Cut out a scalloped heart, distress the edges, and stamp "sweet" on it. If you don't have stamps, you can always print out the text on your computer (do this first--then cut out the heart), or use stickers or vinyl. Punch a hole in your tag, then tie it on with baker's twine/ribbon/jute.
I love love the layered candy look--so fun! These are perfect for teachers, friends, neighbors, ladies you visit each month, and more! They are simple to put together, but so adorable. A fun homemade gift is always appropriate, and always appreciated. ♥

Have a great day!
Where do you buy the pink/white twine?
So cute! Had to pin it :)
so cute! You could even cover the inner part of the lid (not the band) with a pretty valentine scrapbook paper...perhaps something vintage even. Thanks for the inspiration.
@whirlwindkim - google "craft bakers twine" there are several out there to choose from.
yes, there are several places to buy the twine. Sometimes Pick Your Plum will offer it at a great price, and The Twinery is also a good option.
So very cute. Love them. Thanks.
Thanks for always providing such awesome ideas and also following up on our questions! Don't know how you find the time but your readers (like me) really appreciate your passion and efficiency!
Very cute! I'm loving mason jars for everything!
Every project you do is soo amazing and adorable! If I only had 1/4 of your talent, I'd be so lucky! Keep up the good work!
