How to Personalize Valentine's Day Jar Gifts

Repurpose kitchen jars for your homemade Valentine's Day gifts.

If you are making a lot of small Valentine's Day jar treats for a number of people, or just have one special person in your life who is getting a gift in a jar, you can personalize that gift by adding a gift labels. These tags can be purchased at stationary or party stores. These tags can carry Valentine's Day themes such as having pink and red hearts, or images of cupid, or they can be labels that match the decor of the gift you are giving to a friend or loved one.

Instructions

1. Select a label for the Valentine's Day gift jar. The colors and size of the label should complement the colors and fit on the surface you have available on the jar.

2. Write the name of the recipient and any special message you want to include on the label.

3. Wipe the jar with a clean paper towel or cloth to ensure that the outside of the jar is clean and the label will stick to the jar.

4. Peel the label and place it onto the jar. Start smoothing on one side of the label and move toward the other so that you avoid any ripples or bubbles in the label.

Tips & Warnings

• Decorate the Valentine's Day jars with cloth tops over the jars' openings, or add ribbon to enhance the appearance.

• If you do not wish to handwrite the jar labels then purchase printer labels. The printer labels usually come with a corresponding download template. Then place the recipient's name in the template, insert the labels into your printer and print. One advantage to printing your labels is that you will be able to choose a font style, size and color.
