Can you believe I couldn’t find a single project featuring a Santa hat lid on a mason jar? I Googled it …
and then I Google imaged it.
I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to share with you a project that has been so overdone. That you wouldn’t show up here and be like, “Oh no, not another Santa hat mason jar …
how unoriginal!”
And that, my friends, is my biggest fear. Being unoriginal …
So, here’s how I went about creating my – hopefully – original Santa hat mason jar …
I started with my supplies. An old Santa hat. A boa. A mason jar. A teeny tiny belt that came with my daughter’s boots from Target but we didn’t like the teeny tiny belt on the boot look. And some black washi tape.
I put the hat on the mason jar and put a rubber band around the lid. And then I cut …
I used the glue gun to attach the boa …
And the I added a bit of batting inside the hat …
… just to fluff it up a bit. Like so …
For the belt, I simple covered up the brown with washi tape black …
And I was done …
All that was left was filling it with some candy …
… for a fun gift idea.

brings back memories…..we made something very similar to these but used baby food jars and made a face on the front of the jar with the hat on top and filled with m&m’s….kids loved them….
Searching around for cool Christmas ideas. I like this one.
can you tell me where you got the small mason jars for the Santa hats post. Also what size are they?
I found mine at Target. But here’s a link if you want to order them online: http://www.freshpreservingstore.com/ball-collection-elite-pint-16-oz-wide-mouth-jars-set-of-4/shop/229675/
