- COOKIES IN A JAR
( You'll just be giving out mixes/ingredients with recipe tags, so no need to bake :P)
These cookie mixes complete with recipe gift tag were loved by everyone on our gift giving list! Be creative when you make your jars, and add your own finishing touches!
MATERIALS:
- Quart Size Canning Jars with Lids
- Scrap Fabric
- Ribbon
- Glue
- Paper
- Recipe and Required Ingredients (below)
- Thoroughly wash and dry the jars and lids.
- Pick a recipe from below and gather your ingredients.
- Using the instructions and tips from the recipe you choose and fill the jar!
Fabric: Cut a circle out of the fabric that is 6 - 8 inches across. Place the round section of the jar's lid on the jar and center the fabric on that. Screw the other section of the lid in place to hold the fabric. Fluff out the fabric where it comes out from under the lid.
Recipe: Print out your choice of the printable recipe card/gift tag that goes with the recipe you chose. Trim closely around the recipe and graphic. Put a small piece of scotch tape on the upper right-hand section of the 'Printable Gift Tag' recipe (right behind the top edge of the graphic). This is to give it a little extra strength. Use a hole puncher and make a small hole in the taped corner.
Ribbon: Cut an approximate 3 foot piece of ribbon. I actually used 2 pieces of ribbon with colors that matched the fabric. Thread the ribbon through the hole in the 'Printable Gift Tag' recipe. Wrap the ribbon around the metal of the jar lid and tie it into a bow. Secure in place with a small dab of glue behind the bow and in the back.
