Let’s talk ThanksGIVING {after all, it’s only three days away}. Today I wanted to share a super cute {and ridiculously easy craft with all of you}. I call it…
The Giving Jar might be the easiest {and cutest} way to pay it forward. To make your own you’ll need the following:
large mason jar
cute scrapbook paper
bakers twine
cute embellishments {found all of mine on sale at Michael’s}
alphabet stickers
3″ circle punch
There isn’t a rhyme or reason as to how to put your Giving Jar together, the only rule I followed was to make it cute.
I used the circle punch to cut a perfect circle for the the lid of the mason jar then used the rest of my embellishments to fancy it up.
Now, what exactly is a Giving Jar?!
Simple.
It’s the place you put all your leftover change and single dollar bills and at the end of the year {or maybe even Thanksgiving}, you GIVE it away. Maybe you take it to Starbucks and buy drinks for as many people as possible, maybe you head to the grocery store and give it to a mom with three little kids riding in her cart and clinging to her pants, maybe you simply take it to your church and put it in the offering basket. Whatever you choose to do with it, it’s your choice and your gift of giving; that’s the beauty of it!
You could even make individual giving jars for your kids to contribute their own money to each week.
Where would you take your Giving Jar?
Happy ThanksGIVING everyone!
