Mason Jar Christmas Gifts
Now that you’ve got your pecans, you’ll want to make them look even merrier in a decorated Mason jar. Attach a"handmade" gift tag and put a round sticker on the top of the jar labelled “Candied Pecans”. These templates are designed to be used with Avery 2" x 2" round stickers (for wide mouth jars) and 1.5" x 1.5" round stickers (regular mouth jars).
To make your gift extra special, use JarJackets to “wrap” your Mason jar. Sure, they look cute, but they also protect the glass from bumps and slips. And when the pecans are all gone, the Mason jar and JarJackets make the perfect combo for taking coffee, a smoothie or even your lunch on the road with you. Even better, JarJackets are dishwasher and microwave safe — and 100 percent non-toxic and made from earth-friendly materials.
