Alternative Easter Basket Idea for Kids and Adults: See this fun DIY tutorial on How to make an Easy, Simple Easter In A Jar present! Last minute gift idea that’s quick to make!
Usually I have my act together and gifts prepared in advance…
…but this year Easter snuck up on me!
Last week I realized that Easter is this weekend (um, where did March go??!!) and I didn’t have any Easter gifties made yet for my hubs or boys!
So this year due to my loss of space and time I went the simple and easy route to make these
Last Minute, easy and fabulous ‘Easter in a Jar’ presents!
How to make a Easy Simple Easter in a Jar Present!
The bonus is that this is a gift that keeps on giving! After the chocolate is eaten and the ‘Easter in a Jar’ is emptied, the jar can be used for storage and organization!
My hubs can use his jar in the garage to store nails, screws ect…
….Our oldest can use it to hold his loose change and pens..
…and our youngest can use it to hold his Game Boy games, Lego, or rock collections!
These are so easy to make – a very simple and thrifty, last minute diy gift to make for your family!
I think they would also make great teacher presents too!
So even though I was not-so-prepared for Easter this year – I think these presents turned out pretty fabulous!!!
Here are the supplies:
- Glass jar with screw lid
- Chocolate Bunny
- Bag of Mini Easter Eggs
- Twine
- Double sided tape
-
Easter chicks in Nest
Tutorial – How to Make:
-
Wash and Dry jar.
