Materials needed to make Easter Mason Treat Jars

How to Assemble Your Easter Mason Treat Jars

Print & Cut Labels: If using printable labels, print them on cardstock for durability and cut them into circles to fit your jar lids.
Fill the Jars: Pour in the Mini Eggs (or your candy of choice) until the jar is nearly full. Try not to eat too many in the process. (No judgment if you do.)
Assemble the Lid: Place the lid on the jar, position the label on top, then secure it with the jar’s ring.
Add the Ribbon: Tie a festive ribbon around the lid for that extra special touch. Bonus points if you curl the ribbon or mix different colors!
Gift Away: That’s it! Your adorable treat jars are ready to be gifted to friends, family, teachers, or anyone who could use a little extra sweetness this Easter.

Variations & Customization Ideas

Personalized Labels: Instead of generic labels, add the recipient’s name or a cute Easter message like “Hoppy Easter!” or “Some Bunny Loves You!”
Different Treats: Don’t limit yourself to Mini Eggs. Try filling your jars with pastel-colored marshmallows, homemade cookies, or even trail mix for a healthier option.
Decorative Touches: Paint the lids, add Easter stickers, or tie on a small bunny charm with the ribbon for extra flair.
Layered Look: Create a layered effect with different candies for a more colorful, eye-catching presentation.

A: Yes! These jars can be made up to two weeks in advance. Just be sure to store them in a cool, dry place to keep the candy fresh.

Q: What if I don’t have a printer for the labels?
