We created these to invite some new neighbors to come over and join us for snowy day fun & sledding get together!

How to Make a Winter Kindness Jar

Suggested supplies:

  • 1 pint-sized jar with a lid
  • About 18 inches of ribbon (want to make sure you have enough to make a loop and a big knot).
  • Glitter, snowflakes, wintery stickers, paper snowflakes, beads, crystals, cotton balls and other little winter treasures to put inside the jar with your note.
  • A tag or note with a message on it

For these wintery jars, look for something that is fluffy like snow, cotton balls, batting, white fabric… any of these are great!

For these jars we had some salt crystal pieces on hand from another craft project and mixed those into the jar along with some sparkling beads to add a bit of shine and fun to the jars.

We then added some foam snowflakes, stickers, cut out paper snowflakes could also help further enhance the winter feeling!

We wrote a tiny note on the snowflake inviting them to play, you could do the same or write it on a separate paper or hang a tag on the jar that has more details.

Finally, we added a ribbon to hang it from a doorknob. The canning jar we used had an opening in the lid for a straw, we fed the ribbon through that hole and tied a big knot inside (bigger than the straw opening).

If you do not have a lid with a hole you could carefully cut one out or tie the ribbon around the top of the jar and twist the lid on over it to hopefully lock the ribbon in place.
