Easter Candy Jar

Easter Candy Jar

I love simple holiday projects, and this Easter candy jar couldn’t be any simpler. I think it would look so sweet as part of a tablescape, or as a lovely Easter gift for a friend or co-worker. The kids will adore these and have a lot of fun making them! I have tons of canning jars stashed around the house and love coming up with different ways to use them. There is something so adorable about crafts and recipes made in jars.

All you need to make these little cuties is a jar with a lid, Easter grass, a small chocolate bunny, and some candy coated chocolate eggs.  I also cut two circles from some pretty tissue paper to create a decorative top and ruffled edge. Simply place a small handful of Easter grass into the bottom of the jar, and put your candies into place. Place the tissue rounds on top of the jar and screw the lid into place. Easy peasy! What Easter crafts are going on at your house?

    What a cute idea. A great way to hide their basket in plain sight.

    You just gave me an awesome idea about decorating a jar for Easter! I have these two really pretty Martha Stewart jars that I bought years ago and I am going to decorate them like yours. Thanks for this great craft post!

    We have a bunch of canning jars also, and they keep on piling up as we use our stock. I usually make my own chocolate candies so this would just add to the fun. Thanks for the idea. Maybe I’ll have them on the Easter table for each of my kids and nieces.

    This is a great idea as someties the eater baskets are too small for smal toys. You could use a large jar and it would work
