EASY Mason Jar Thank You Gift Idea

August 13, 2014 By Meegan 6 Comments

Happy Hump Day everyone!  Can you believe we are already half way through the week?  Me, either.  My week has been full, has yours?

I have a couple of friends that I NEED to make gifts for.  They have helped me in many ways over the past few years.  Each one of them are excellent cooks, so I thought of an EASY Mason Jar Thank You Gift Idea.

I went to my local nursery and bought potted herbs.  All of mine happened to be oregano, but you can use anything you want.

Using blue canning jars that I found at the 99 cents Only store, and a couple of Ball mason jars, I planted my herbs.

I carefully tapped and worked out the herbs and all the dirt from the original pot.

I placed the loose dirt at the bottom of the jar.

I then delicately planted the herbs in the jar.

I made strips of burlap 2 inches wide and wrapped each one around a jar.  I wrapped my bakers twine around the burlap to hold it onto the jar.

With a Martha Stewart punch, I made flowers and tags from scrapbook paper.  I clipped the flowers and tags on the jars with a clothes pin that I used here.

Now was THAT EASY or what???

When I give my friends their gifts, I will be sure to tuck in the growing instructions.  That way they can grow their own herbs at home, in the kitchen, or porch.
