What You Will Need

  • Cricut Explore
  • Red and yellow card stock
  • White card stock
  • Printer
  • Red felt
  • Mason jar
  • Blue spray paint
  • Red spray paint
  • Adhesive runner
  • Hot glue and glue gun

Instructions

  • Spray paint the outside of the mason jar blue and set aside to dry.

  • As needed, use the erase function to remove some of the areas.
  • Print and cut the designs from the card stock.
  • Then, use an adhesive runner to attach the cutouts together. Set aside.
  • To make the "cape" of the jar, cut a piece of red felt long enough to go from the neck of the jar to almost the bottom. Attach the "cape" with hot glue. I gathered the cape on both sides when gluing as shown in the image below.
  • Attach the “T” logo on the front of the jar with hot glue.
  • To make the lid, paint the band of the mason jar lid with red spray paint and set aside to dry completely.
  • Then, design a lid in Cricut Design Space by drawing a circle the size of your lid and make it red. Then, add text that reads “Teacher you are my hero!” (or other message)
  • Then, print and cut the design and add it to the lid.
  • Fill the jar with goodies!
