Four Fun DIY Ways to Package Mason Jar Favors ~ Free Printable Labels!


It's officially fall and that means all kinds of jams, jellys and other goodies...all of which make wonderful wedding favors! I still owe my amazing mom and grandma for picking thousands of berries and making hundreds of jars of jam for my wedding seven years ago. The jam was delicious..the packaging not so much. I clearly had not found my true calling yet when I got married! I still shutter when I see the little leftover jars. Yes, they made enough jam to last seven years:) SO, today I bring you four easy ways to style your mason jar favors with free printable labels included!

Style #1

  •  Use the lid of the mason jar as a stencil to draw a circle on heavy cardstock in the color of your choice.
  •  Cut out the circle and use an exacto knife to cut a half circle for the handle.
  • Glue the cardstock to the top of the jar. Make sure you don't glue the handle!
  • Wrap the handle in ribbon or washi tape for an added detail.
  • Print this label on blank sticker paper. Sign your names, cut and attach to the jar.


Style #2

  •  Use the lid of the mason jar as a stencil to draw a circle on scrapbook paper in the color of your choice. 
  • Cut out the circle and glue it to the top of the jar.
  • Wrap washi tape around the edge of the lid.
  • Print this label on white or light colored cardstock. Sign your names, cut and attach to the jar with ribbon or string.
  •  

Style #3

  •  Cut large circles out of tissue paper. I used two different colors but you can use one as well.
  • Wrap the tissue around the bottom of the jar and secure with a small rubber band.
  • Cover the rubber band with washi tape or ribbon.
  • Print this label on blank sticker paper, cut with a craft punch or scissors, and attach to the mason jar lid.

Style #4

  • Cut small circles out of tissue paper. I used two different colors but you can use one as well. If you use two different papers, make the circle that will be on top slightly smaller than the bottom circle.
  • Wrap the tissue around the lid of the jar and secure with a small rubber band.
  • Cover the rubber band with washi tape or ribbon and add craft string for a pretty bow.
  • Print this label on blank sticker paper, cut with scissors, and attach to the mason jar.
 
 
Are you using mason jars for your favors?? How are you going to dress them up?

There's no denying it! This summer has been HOT HOT HOT and if you planned a beautiful outdoor ceremony for your big day, you're probably praying for a little break in the heat! I love an outdoor wedding and there's no reason to change your plans because of a little too much sun. It is a good idea though to have a plan for keeping your guests cool! One way is to provide paper fans for your ceremony. Not only are they simple to assemble, they can even double as a wedding day program.
