Mason Jar Directions:

1. Wash and dry your Mason jar and lid.

3. Take your ribbon and wrap it around the Mason jar leaving 6 inches on each side for the bow.

4. Place one of the holiday picks in the center of the Mason jar with the bottom 2 inches from the lid. You want the pick to rise above the top of the lid with the bottom glued to the jar.
5. Using your glue gun adhere the pick. Hold in place for 45 seconds. Repeat for any other picks you may be using.
6. Take your ribbon and tie the bow over the holiday picks, hiding the glue.
7. Fill out your gift tag, then attach the tag and snowflake ornament by tying them off on the bow to adhere.
