A little while ago I saw Memory Jars on a few blogs. I loved the idea and wanted to have a go at making my own. What you do is, each day, you write a happy memory that you would like to remember at a later date like New years eve for example. It's a bit like family journalling. Smaller won't be able to add his memories just yet so it's up to Taller and I which is fine!
This is my jar.
Materials you will need:-
A Jar (can be plastic or glass)
A piece of card to name your jar
Glue or Gluesticks/gluegun
Decorations (buttons/ glitter/wooden letters...whatever you have on hand)
I started with my jar top. It's made from cork so I decided to use a wooden heart and button to make it look pretty...
Glued the back....
And voila! Pretty pretty!
Took me a few goes to decided what I wanted the writing to look like.
The paint was a complete disaster! So I opted for simply using a marker pen.
I had some green ribbon stashed so I put two patterns around my jar with some glue dots.
Added my label and I was done. Very very easy and a great way to have some memories to remember and look through on New Years eve!
With our notes included.
Let me know if you give this a go. Happy Monday!!!!
