I was inspired to make this DIY after I was actually given one as a gift for Thanksgiving. This is the cutest idea for a gift or to bring to a Christmas party, and so easy to make.
Items you need:
Jar Decoration:
- One quart mason jar- Michael's $1.99
- Doily ( mine is 8 inches) you can also cut a piece of fabric to fit - Michael's $1.00
- Ribbon ( I used wired ribbon ) - Michael's $2.50 on sale
- Sticker embellishments- Michael's $1.99
- Tag ( got mine from an old Christmas bag)
- Elastic string- Had some in my stash but Michael's has it!
Items needed for cookie mix:
Fill jar in this order
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. Baking soda
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup of oats
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of sugar

Once it's all packed cover the top with your doily or fabric and tie a simple bow around to secure.
Pop a sticker embellishment on the front for an extra touch
Lastly write on a tag or card the instructions on how to make the mix:
- Mix with one egg
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
Roll into balls and bake @350 degrees for 10 minutes. Makes around 2 dozen
Thread some elastic through, knot at the ends and slip of the top of the jar. That's it!
I've seen these on line and they run anywhere from $15- $20 or more. For that cost you could make a few of these at least!
