Your Mother, Mother-in-law, sister, or friend will love these Mother’s Day gifts using jars! I find that making homemade gifts is so much fun for me, but they always seem to love them. Store-bought gifts have a time and a place for sure, but something homemade means someone took the time to make something, especially for me. What could be more thoughtful than that?

15 Pretty Mother’s Day Gifts Using Jars

Showing how much you love your mom or dear family member is so simple with these thoughtful gifts. It’s important to remember she is going to be excited that you remembered her, so it doesn’t have to be fancy. Remember these tips when you get started:

  • Use her favorite colors. If you know what colors she loves, include them in the gift. She will enjoy it even more!
  • Make these jars for friends, neighbors, teachers, and daycare workers too. Many of those moms don’t realize how important they are to your family. Show them with a little memento.
  • Use various types and sizes of jars. If you are making several gifts, you can use a variety of jars. You don’t have to stick to just one kind. You can even reuse jars you have saved over the years too. This is a great frugal option.

    Love the sewing themed one, Manuela. I doing the herb one for my daughter for Mother’s Day [with the granddaughter] but I’m using tin cans I saved from the recycling bin.

    Lots of good ideas – thanks for sharing. A while back I remember seeing where a blogger made several of the ones on candle holders to store her beads, buttons, etc., that she used in making jewelry. Grouped together they made a pretty display in her work area. Can’t remember who it was tho.

    What fun ideas. I don’t have anyone to give a Mother’s Day gift to, but I might just make one or two of the jars anyway.

    I am pinning this whole post. Only, I’m going to have to pin it to a secret board because I don’t want my friends who follow my boards to see it before I have a chance to give some of this stuff to them.
