Mother’s Day is in just 9 days folks! I think there’s been a full moon for about 2 months straight now, because all my friends on Facebook keep making status updates like “Send Chocolate” and “I need to go to the store because I’ve eaten all my chocolate” or “The Easter Chocolate is all gone…now what?” So after seeing a tutorial on HomeTalk on making Washi Tape Vases, I thought I would make a quick afternoon project for all my chocolate deprived Mom readers using a cleaned out gravy jar.
DIY Washi & Masking Tape Mother’s Day Jar
Materials Needed:
Cleaned glass jar with a lid
Washi &/or Masking Tape
round label or paper to fit the jar lid
Scissors
Seriously this is SO easy.
Just choose the different tapes you want to use.
Starting at one of the seams if the jar has one, holding the tape taut, wrap it around the jar.
When you’ve gone around the circumference of the jar, cut the tape off and start another row. It’s really just that simple!
Then using your computer print off what you want the label to say, or write it on the label using permanent markers. Feel free to download and use the label I made for mine (mine is sized for a 2″ lid). Then adhere it to the lid, using a glue stick if you just use paper.
Fill the jar with Mom’s favorite chocolate candy.
And give it to your favorite Mom for Mother’s Day!
I think most Moms out there would appreciate this 😉 Change the word Mom on the label to Teacher and you’ve got a great end of the year teacher gift too!

What a neat idea.
Adorable.
We just had chocolate fondue for dessert tonight. So I'm good for another day. 😀
What a fantastic idea. I love the way it turned out, too cute!
What a cute idea for kids to make for mom 🙂
so creative I bet that would make a great treat for busy moms
My mom's sanity jar would be consumed within a day. That's how much maintenance it takes to keep myself together. 😉 Super cute idea, Tammy!
One of these days I'll have to get some of that washi tape! I love the label you came up with for the jar – I need all the sanity I have left 😛
Cute idea! Love the label!
This is so pretty! This is an easy and great gift idea to give and fill it up with candy. My Mom loves candy and getting it in this cute jar is awesome.
I noticed in the store the other day how many different patterns there are in washi tape. This is easy and cute.
I love this! Such a fun idea!
Such a cute and easy idea! I have a feeling though that my sanity jar would go empty awfully fast lol.
That is a great idea! Too bad my husband doesn't go on line to look up things for the kids to make me! ha ha
Cute craft! I bet my kids would eat all the M&Ms though
I need a project for my students to make for their moms — this is really cute!
This seems like a fun and fairly easy craft project! I love those. It's very cute and I'd have to fill mine with M& M's too.
Oh I love the title of the jar LOL
This Washi Tape jar is a great gift idea! It's a great way to recycle!
Fun and easy project!
