Introduction: Memory Jar
Hey Momoluvers! It's Momo and today I'll be doing a Valentine's Day gift for a friend or loved one. This super cute jar features tiny sealed envelopes that contain memories and their dates. The makes a perfect gift for any occasion, but I thought this would be perfect for Valentine's Day! Enjoy
Step 1: Supplies
You will need:
1. An old jar
3. Twine
5. Scissors
6. Envelope template (Above)
7. Glue
Attachments
Step 2: Clean Out the Jar
Heat up some water on the stove to break down the oil inside the jar
Pour the water into the jar and let sit for about 10-15 minutes
Dump out water and fill it back up with a soap solution let sit for another 10 minutes
Empty the water and wipe out thoroughly with a paper towel
For the label, run it under hot water, or let it soak in the hot water and the label should peel off
Step 3: Making the Envelopes
Select 5 or 6 different scrapbook paper designs and cut envelopes using the template. I got 6 envelopes out of one sheet
Fold the envelope on each edge
Glue the two side flaps along the bottom so they attach to the adjacent flap
Step 4: Making the Memories
After you have cut out all of the envelopes, you can use the template to size printer paper for the notes. I cut three long strips and got enough notes to fill my envelopes
Find inspiration from pictures or if you journal, find some entries that pertain to the gift receiver
Write a short sentence that will fit on the note and write the date
Seal the envelope closed with a tiny drop of liquid glue and press the flap closed
Step 5: Putting It All Together
Decorate the jar simplistically, or extravagantly. I just used a small 'memories' label and wrapped some twine around the rim of the jar
Take the decorative shreds and stuff them about 75% full
Put the envelopes on top and seal the jar shut
Step 6: تمام شده
That's it! I hope y'all enjoyed this tutorial and had fun making this memories jar. I hope everyone had a very happy Valentine's Day with loved ones and enjoyed the long weekend.
