Christmas Jar DIY

I really should have made a video but I didn't have time and I really wanted to get this up before Christmas is too far over.
 
I'm going to be making four Christmas jars filled with goodies to give out as little gifts with Christmas cards. I'll be making the Grinch, Santa, Rudolph, and Frosty. This is not my original idea, I found this online.


 
Supplies Needed:

  • Jelly jars (8oz) in the quantity of your desire
  • Something to fill the jar with. I used eatable items for each. 
  • Hot glue gun
For Santa:
  • Craft Belt Buckle
  • Black Ribbon
  • Red & White Mints
Instructions:
  1. Fill jar with the red & white mints.
  2. Cut a black ribbon the width of the jar and then thread on a craft belt buckle.
  3. I found the belt buckles at Hobby Lobby.
  4. Hot glue the ribbons with the buckle around the middle of the jar.


For Grinch:

  • Small Red Heart
  • Red Ribbon
  • Green Andy's Mints
 Instructions:
  1. Fill the jar with the Andy's Mints. I got mine at the Dollar Tree so one bag of mints fit into one mason jar.
  2. Tie a festive ribbon around the top of the mason jar, glue it in place.
  3. Hot glue the heart button to the right side of the jar (right from where the tie of the ribbons ends up).



For Frosty:
 
  • Large Red Craft Pom-Poms
  • Red Pipe cleaner
  • Black Buttons
  • White Popcorn
Instructions:
  1. Fill the jar with white popcorn.
  2. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and hot glue each end to one of the sides of the jar.
  3. Hot glue the red pom-poms to each end of the glued-on pipe cleaner.
  4. Glue two large black buttons in the front and center of the jar.


For Rudolph:
  • Brown Pipe cleaners
  • Wiggle Eyes
  • Red Pom-Poms
  • Pretzels
Instructions:
  1. Fill the jar with pretzels.
  2. Use one pipe cleaner to circle around the top of the jar.
  3. Use two other pipe cleaners to form the shape of antlers. Attach each antler to the side of the jar by bending around the circled pipe cleaner. Use hot glue to get the antlers to stay put.
  4. Glue on the eyes and red pom-pom for the nose.

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls. Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o...

August 31, 2017 - Our 8 Week Ultrasound

We had our 8 week ultrasound today!! I was super nervous. I pray for my little ones every day that they both will be healthy and grow stronger and be where they need to be at, at each milestone. Of course being a part of a support group you see a ton of miscarriage stories and you hear about abnormal phenomenons and it gets your mind to wander! The scariest thing I keep thinking about is the Vanishing Twin Syndrome . I’m so worried that we’re going to go to an appointment and one will be missing. So of course I was nervous about going today but I was also really excited to see my little jelly beans again. Ok so checkup update…. I am 8 weeks and 4 days today. Baby A is measuring at 8w4d (right on target) 19.9mm and the heartbeat was 171. Baby B is measuring at 8w5d 21.4mm (“he” was also the bigger baby last time too. Think we might have a chunky monkey on our hands!) The heartbeat was 177. We got to see Baby A “wave” at us. “He” was moving his little hand, and it ...
