In my last post, I shared a paper garland tutorial and dove pattern download.
Today. A Lovely and Elevated Way to Gift a Paper Garland
Inspired by the cookies in a jar trend from a few years back.
I thought why not a paper garland in a jar?
All the supplies are ready and set to assemble.
The paper garland kit!
Or, as my brilliant friend Michelle called it over on Insta…Joy in a Jar.
And may have to relabel the ones I’ve made so far.
So good.
How I Made my Kit / In Detail
If you fancy a little quiet time at my table. Here’s how I assembled my paper garland kit.
AKA
Joy in a Jar.
The Supply List:
jars (I bought mine at Dollarama Canada) but these are so lovely and a similar size to mine.
jute or cord of choice. pre-knot as outlined in this post.
fine gauge wire. I bought the wire at Dollarama. It’s a perfect weight, and I love that it comes wound around the wood. So good, right?
Optional
Labels.
I printed the jar labels and used the Cricut to cut them out.
You could also stamp the name on the paper cut-out wired to the jar.
Moving on…

I drew a simple dove pattern, scanned it, then opened it in Photoshop to duplicate it multiple times on a letter-sized page.
Then I saved it as a PDF and also as a transparent PNG so I could use my Cricut.
Over to You.
Whatcha think?
Might you share a little joy in a jar with your family or friends?
Teachers, neighbors, someone in hospital?
