Dads do so much, and they often don’t get the thanks they deserve. That’s why I love Father’s Day. It’s a day when we stop our routines and take time to celebrate a super special person in our lives: Dad!
Fathers can sometimes be tough to buy gifts for, which is a huge reason why I love making gifts. I have several other homemade Father’s Day gift ideas like this Trophy for Dad, Hand Print Art for Father’s Day, and Wooden Pencil Holder.
Mason jars are one of the most versatile crafting materials you can find. They’re perfect for everything from crafts to food to gift wrapping and much more!

How To Make This Mason Jar Gift Idea For Father’s Day
Here are the supplies you’ll need to gather and the steps you’ll need to follow in order to make your own handmade gift for dad.
Supplies Needed
- Green Ball mason jars
- Stiff self-adhesive felt sheets
- 3-dimensional fabric paint (like Puffy paint, Beads in a bottle, and Tulip Slick Paints)
- Scissors
Instructions
Just follow these steps, and in a few minutes, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind mason jar gift for Father’s Day to give to Dad!
Step 1
Trim the felt sheets into “tie” shapes. Let the kids have fun picking the colors. 🙂
Step 2
Use a variety of 3-dimensional fabric paints to decorate your ties. Then, set them aside to dry. Your ties will probably need to dry overnight.
This is where you really get the kids involved. Let them decorate the ties in any way they choose. You never know what you’ll get, but it’ll be unique and amazing!
Step 3
You will need to add the ties to your mason jars. I used the adhesive on the back of the felt sheets, but if yours aren’t self-adhering, you can also use glue to adhere them.
Wrap these Father’s Day mason jars up in a DIY gift bag and give them to Dad this year. Don’t forget the card!
They will look great on his desk to hold pens, pencils, or anything else he needs to hold.
Project Notes
- I like the stiff felt for this project.

FAQs
Here are a couple of questions that I see readers ask regarding how to make a mason jar Father’s day gift like this one. If you have a question, please check to see if it’s already answered below. Don’t see it down below? Leave it for me in the comments!
What size mason jars should I use?
I used pint-sized mason jars for this craft. If you only have large quart-sized jars, they should work too. I just wouldn’t recommend using jars that are smaller than pint-size.
Can I use clear mason jars for this mason jar gift idea for Father’s Day?
Of course! I like the fun color that the green jars add to this craft. I think the color makes it easier to see the craft since it isn’t quite as “see-through.”
Add these Father’s Day mason jars to your must-make list this year. Pick up your supplies and let the kids get to work adding their own special touch to this fun craft idea. Dad’s gonna love it!
