This is such a fun idea! I love how you can stick ANYTHING on top of that jar- maybe create a scene with the figurines on a top of multiple jars, or commemorate a different event by gluing your wedding cake topper on top of that jar and using that to hold memories of your wedding day. Endless possibilities!!

What an awsome idea! And what a great way of using an ornament that I don’t really want to put on the tree any more, or those ornaments that you get as gifts that maybe you aren’t that crazy about. Seems like you always get a couple or ornaments from those holiday parties that you aren’t in love with.

festive topped jars are my fave
December 6, 2011
I’m not going to lie, I’m not the best paper gift wrapper. Those blasted corners never seem to lay flat. So I’m happy to come up with alternative forms of wrapping. Throw something in a jar and screw on a festive lid? I can handle that.
To make your own you’ll need:
- glass jars with lid
- miniature toppers (scan the ornament, Christmas village and kids sections)
- spray paint in color of choice
- hot glue gun
- a treat (popcorn, M&Ms, white chocolate pretzels, whoopie pies)
Give the jar lids and miniatures a good spray with the paint, you might need to do two coats. When fully dry, hot glue the miniature onto the lid top. Fill the jar with something yummy and top it. Deliver to friends while jamming to Manheim Steamroller in the car.
