What You’ll Need

• Small mason jars (or clean baby food jars)
• Honey or golden candies (like butterscotch or caramel)
• Twine, jute, or ribbon
• Cardstock or small gift tags
• Hole punch
• Pen or marker
• Optional: mini wooden honey dipper, faux flowers, or bee stickers for decoration

Instructions

1. Fill the Jar:

Start by filling each jar with honey or golden candies. If you’re using real honey, make sure the lid seals tightly to prevent leaks.

2. Create Your Tags:

Cut small tags from cardstock or use pre-made ones. Write a sweet message such as “You’re Sweet as Honey!” or “Made with Love.”

3. Tie it Up:

Punch a hole in each tag and use twine or ribbon to tie it around the lid of the jar. You can even wrap the lid in fabric or lace for an extra homemade touch.

4. Add Decorations:

Stick on a little bee sticker, tie on a small wooden honey dipper, or glue a tiny faux flower to the lid — anything to make it your own!

5. Gift & Enjoy:
