Here’s a quick gift idea that is easy to make for all your friends and neighbors – and it won’t break your budget.
Tips: Use a funnel to pour the dry ingredients into the bottom of the jar.
Cut an 8-inch circle or square out of Christmas or other festive fabric to decorate the tops of the jars. For extra padding, cut a 4-inch round of polyester batting to place on top of the lid, then cover with fabric and tie with ribbon.
