Wondering what to put into a mason jar for a gift? These little jars make the perfect packaging for a variety of tiny gifts, and I love the look of a jar filled to the brim with colorful washi tape. Washi tape can be used for a variety of craft projects and it’s a great choice for a gift for anyone who loves crafting, journaling, organizing, and more!

Supplies You’ll Need

A mason jar, gift tag, twine, and washi tape.

Note: If your washi tape spools are about 1.5″ in diameter, you’ll be able to fit about 8-10 in a jar. If they are smaller (1.25″ in diameter or similar), you may need up to 15-16 spools. I suggest adding additional supplies like colorful twine, buttons, stickers, tags, and miscellaneous scrapbooking/crafting/planner supplies if you are making a lot of these and want to keep the cost of each jar down.

Making Favors for a Large Group?

If you are making these gift jars for a large group, buy your supplies in bulk and then divide them up. Buy a large set (or two or three) of washi tape, multiple rolls of twine, buttons, stickers, and other fun supplies to fill the jars. Then, just divide everything up amongst the jars and you are set! Place them in a large basket for a beautiful display at your event.
