The following idea is not completely original with me. I saw something similar somewhere on the interweb, modified it for the Winnie the Pooh themed baby shower I was throwing, and came up with these cute “hunny pots:”
Supplies:
- Jars/Hunny Pots
$1.99 at Hobby Lobby – on sale for $0.99
Roughly 2 fluid ounces - Honey
The calculations for the amount I needed were a bit sticky. I used the 2 oz size of the jars to estimate how much honey I would need to fill them. After purchasing the honey, I realized it is sold by net weight, not fluid ounces. Oops. I ended up going back and getting more. Roughly 80 ounces filled 25 jars. - Paper Trimmer
This was used to cut the labels – 25 printed on one page of card stock - Hole Punch (not pictured)
- Ribbon
Dollar Store – 1 spool with 100ft each of blue, yellow, white, & pink (blue and yellow used only) - Scissors
Easy schmeasy step by step:
1. Fill the jars with the honey – be sure to leave room for the lid, which inserts inside the pot
2. Cut approximately 12″ of blue ribbon and tie around neck of jar
3. Curl ribbon using scissors
4. Attach label
- These were created using Microsoft Word. Pick your favorite font, some clip art found online, and create a label for your party. This can also be done in Microsoft Publisher. Once you have one label created, simply copy and paste the contents into each square of a table (I needed 25, so a 5×5 table in Word worked). The labels/squares are approximately 1.25″ x 1″
- Print on card stock, cut apart with paper trimmer, and hole punch
- Cut approx. 4″ of yellow ribbon
- Attach label to jar by tying yellow ribbon onto blue ribbon
- Cut off excess yellow ribbon
5. Enjoy your adorable party favors!
