Decorate Mason Jars

Let's talk about decorating the mason jars before we get into the recipe. As much as I love mason jar, they can be pretty boring when giving as a gift.

I've solved that by creating a cute printable tag to use and a really cute round printable to cut out and use for the top of the jar. All you need to do is cut out the circle plaid Santa printable and use double-stick tape to adhere it to the mason jar lid.

Cut out the gift tag, sign your name and use some cute ribbon to tie it to the jar. You could even tie a candy cane to the gift tag as well.
