DIY Mason Jar Valentine

This DIY Mason Jar Valentine is a simple, heartfelt craft perfect for work, home, or Valentine’s parties. Using a free Cricut project, you can create an easy handmade gift filled with sweet treats and personal touches.

Equipment

  • Cricut
  • Cricut mat I used the standard grip mat
  • printer

Materials

  • heavy card stock
  • 3"x3" baggies
  • double sided tape
  • candy of choice candy hearts, skittles, M&M's

Instructions

  • Open the Project
  • Use the Cricut Design Space link provided and choose Customize or Make It to open the project.
  • Customize (Optional) - The design comes flattened so it’s ready to print as-is. If you’d like to customize anything (text, colors, or layout), unflatten the project first. After making your changes, be sure to flatten the design again before moving on.
  • When you’re happy with the design (or if you’re keeping it as-is), click Make in the top right corner of Design Space.
  • Set Your Material Size - Select 8.5 x 11 for your material size if it isn’t already selected, then click Continue.
  • Print the Design - Choose Send to Printer and print your project.
  • If you keep the design at its original size, you’ll get three mason jars per page.
  • Prepare for Cutting - Place your printed cardstock onto a Cricut mat and use a Cricut roller or brayer to make sure it’s securely attached.
  • Select Base Material in Design Space, select the correct card stock weight for your paper.
  • Cut & Fill - While your Cricut is cutting the jars, fill your small bags with candy or treats.
  • Assemble - Once everything is cut, apply double-sided tape to the back of each jar and attach a filled candy bag.

Notes

Tip:
I tested glue tape and didn’t love the hold— I suggest a double sided tape for scrapbooking, something that can hold a little more weight.
Finish & Enjoy
Attach your baggies, straighten everything up, and you’re done!
You now have super cute, handmade Valentines ready to share.
