Today, I am going to show you how I made the cute Jar of Dates! I was inspired by this on Pinterest.
What you’ll need:
*Jar
*Ribbon
*List of dates {you can make up your own or find a HUGE list of them here}
*Scissors or paper trimmer
First of all, I printed out all 17 pages of dates from here.
Some of the dates were really long and some were really short. A lot of them had another link attached for you to view more ideas on the date.
Then I cut up all the dates. Then I folded them and shoved them in the jar!
As you can see, I added some zebra and lime green sparkly, polka dot ribbon to the top and tied it into a pretty bow. I made the tag in Word and printed it, then cut it out and glued it on to some zebra paper. Then I just put double-sided tape on the jar and stuck on the tag! {If you do a can instead of a jar, you can find super cute, pre-designed labels here.}
And there you have yourself a pretty little, overflowing Jar of Dates!
So now you have seen how to do the cups, the plate, and now this!


This is such a lovely idea! Weddings can get so samey so it’s always so lovely to see fresh ideas for personal touches like this =)
I agree! I definitely wanted something personal and fun! I think this does just that!
This is really really cute! I’ve seen it before, but never thought of using it as a wedding present. My sister-in-law is getting married in a couple of weeks, so that’s perfect timing!
