Now that you have your supplies and printable tags, it is time to pull together this cute Valentine’s jar for gift giving to someone you love. This only takes a few minutes but I know they will love this thoughtful and inexpensive gift idea.

Instructions
- Print the tags onto a card stock weight paper and cut to size. Punch a hole in the top of your tag. You can use scissors to cut out the tags or a paper cutter.
