Instructions (Print version)

1. Cut holiday patterned paper the appropriate width for the jar you are using (example is 4x14.5”). Double-sided paper works well, since you see the reverse side through the jar. Cut an additional strip, if needed, to extend paper length. Match up with first strip, glue to one end and trim excess. Glue strip of paper to jar, aligning overlap.

2. With your trimmer, measure and cut 2 or 3 - 4 x 4” squares in a complementary solid cardstock. Set each square on point and emboss, using the ShapeBoss system and Christmas Stencil. To highlight your design, after embossing turn your square face up. Turn the stencil over and lay it over your square, matching up the embossed design. Apply ink to the raised paper. Attach brads to the square by first punching a hole in the right and left corners with the 1/16^th circle punch. Glue squares to the jar.

3. Cut a circle for the jar’s lid from cardstock using the Clouds Paper Edgers. Emboss holiday design of your choice using the ShapeBoss system and Christmas Stencil. Glue and attach to top of jar.

4. Fill with treats and enjoy!
