Cupcake Gift Jar

Cupcake Gift Jar!! So cute and unique!! Keep upside down or turn it right side up & fill with treats!

I love Martha Stewart products!! And today I cannot wait to share a fun and easy tutorial using some amazing Martha Stewart Paints and stencils.

This next project was one that I saw in magazine and looked easy peasy. I knew I could do my own version very easily and wanted to make a little printable to go along with it. Not only is it inexpensive but it’s easy to do and can double as Cupcake Gift Jar and a Christmas Candy Jar!! Consider this Gift #2 that you will find from me in the coming weeks that can be made for under $10. 🙂

Before I get started I need to show you the awesome products that were sent to me from Plaid, with all the amazing Martha Stewart Paints. You better believe I will be using all these goodies over the next few weeks to get my craft on for Christmas. I already have so many ideas in mind, and I can’t wait to share them with you!!

If you would like to make these cute Cupcake Gift Jars/ Candy Jars, here is what you’ll need:

SUPPLIES:

– Jar (got mine at Hobby Lobby for half off for only $1.50)

– Twine, ribbon or jute

– Printable Tag

– Cupcake or Candies

Martha Stewart Paint (I used Red and Wedding Cake – White)

  1. That’s not just adorable, it’s also creative, ingenious and totally fun. I can imagine making these using teeny, tiny figures and objects that create a scene, sort of like turning the whole piece into something reminiscent of a snow globe. You know, a snowman, his igloo and other touches that will put color into it. This would work very well with Halloween themes (during Halloween, of course) as well as for other holidays. But for the holidays, I can picturre Calvin and Hobbes on a sled or something cute like that with pine trees around. That being said, we’d either have to make the miniature figurines or find them somewhere!

  2. Ahhh! I was dying when I saw this on Instagram this morning! Just Pinned it. Love it. Want it. Might copy it 🙂 These would make darling neighbor gifts! Thanks for sharing with us!

  3. I just tried to recreate this because it is so incredibly adorable, except when I painted the lids of jars, it doesn’t look as neat and perfect as yours, mine looks streaky. Is there any tips you can give me on how to achieve that perfect painted look on the lids. Thank you

  4. sweet! i love how it looks like snow globe. i think i would add a dollop of frosting to anchor the cake. next year, yes! thank you.

    1. Loved the guest towel cupcake; I am going to make them for all ocaisscons and for my bathrooms. I have seen so many other videos, but you are the best. Thank you so much.

  5. i had a quick question – since i live far away from friends and family and would like to send something like this, how long will they last? how long will the cupcake stay fresh…?
    Thanks!
