The Happy Jar

Hello loves!

It seems that this month,quite a few of my friends have got birthdays.I don't have a job,therefor I don't always have that much money to spend on things like that and I didn't really want to rely on 'bank of mum and dad' this time,so I came up with a much better and more thoughtful idea.

The only few things you'll need for this little gifts are:

- A jar (you can buy one from any home ware shop)

-A strip of patterned material of your choice 

-Strips of paper 

-Glitter or anything along the lines of that

1. Firstly,cut a piece of paper into little strips,big enough for you to write things on.
2. When you have enough strips,start to write nice little comments on the pieces of paper about the person who you're making the gift for.You can also write down things that you know they like and make them smile.When you've written something on it,fold it up and place it into the jar.Another way of doing this is writing it all out on a computer and printing it.However,I think it's much more thoughtful if they're all hand written. 
   
3. When you've filled the jar,grab your strip of material and tie it to the side of the jar.This is your choice whether you do this or not but I thought it made the jar look a little bit prettier. 
   
4. Then,take another strip of paper and write 'The Happy Jar' on it. Take some sellotape and stick the piece of paper on the front of the jar.
5. Lastly,sprinkle bits of glitter inside of the jar.You can also add little things inside the jar,such as they're favorite sweet.I put  charm inside each of my friends jars.Then,you're finished! 
   

This gift is not only the most thoughtful and cute little gift you could ever give to anyone,it's super cheap and easy to make and it'll make them feel amazing!Hope you enjoy!
