Gratitude Jar (2014/1714 Edition)

I had almost forgotten to post a photo of our Gratitude Jar for the new year 1714!

Lettering, ribbon, paper cover and "sparklies" all chosen by our resident Master Crafter Extraordinaire Little Miss Effervescent Ethel.

What you will need:

-Mason canning jar (I bought one on sale at JoAnns for $1) or use a recycled canning jar that has been
thoroughly cleaned and dried.
-construction paper for making small slips of paper to write the daily gratitude (you'll need 365 plus a few extra)  For the year 1714 I cut out paper a little bit smaller (about 2 1/2"x2" rectangles). This time around we aren't folding them which will make stacking the slips of paper in the jar much easier.
-(optional) stickers to decorate the slips of gratitude paper if deisred
-adhesive letters and numbers
-self adhesive iridescent "jewels" (aka "sparklies") for decorating the jar
-paper to cover the lid
-decorative ribbon
-glue



Cost: about $4 for everything.

Here is a link to the Gratitude Jar (2013 Edition) for inspiration. One thing I forgot to do last year was add adhesive numbers for the year. I've since added the year to the jar.
