I thought I would put up a quick something for the good old Valentines Day. Super Fast. Simple. Adorable.


Here is the original inspiration
I am in love with the mason jar fads and I use them for everything. If you don't have a stash of jars, you can pick them up at the dollar store or at the craft store. (Hobby Lobby often has glass sales at 50% off)

Here are the supplies I used. I had everything but the doilies. Those I picked up at Hobby Lobby for under two dollars for 30 of them. For the regular size Mason Jar, I used the 4 inch doilies. For larger jars, I would go up a size. 



Using solid red card stock, I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the heart shape I liked. A paper punch can be used or even cut by hand. Just keep in mind the size of the heart in comparison to the doily. 


 Then put adhesive on the back of the heart and center of the doily.



Next, put just a small amount of adhesive in the center of the doily (on the back). 



Just a small amount is needed to keep the items attached to the jar while you add the twine. 



I wrapped the twine around the jar three times. Depending on what you like, keep wrapping, and tie it off. I like the knot and ends to be exposed.  

That's it! These puppies are going to get filled with fun holiday treats and taken to some friends for encouragement. 



I also added them to my everyday decor for just a little hint of Valentine's Day. (In this photo I added one in my craft space. And a hint of that tiny paper banner)

Happy Crafting!
