Hi Night Owlers and happy 2016! Keri from Shaken Together here and I am so excited to celebrate one of my favorite holidays with you … Valentine’s Day! Sweet little gifts to show my special guys how much I love them are pretty much my thing.

This mason jar is stuffed to the gills with Swedish fish! Not only are they delicious but they are red and perfect for a Valentine’s gift!

The How-To

First, fill the mason jar with Swedish fish.

Stamp your message on the kraft paper tag with the alphabet stamps and ink pad.

Cut two paper fish from the patterned card stock. Now, my fish are not perfect. I think it is part of the charm of a handmade gift. You can sketch them out first if you prefer – my paper fish are about 2 1/2 inches long. Use a small hole punch to punch holes in the top of the fish. When I hung them, I flipped one fish around to show the solid blue color that was on the back of my polka dot card stock.

Tie the stamped tag and the paper fish around the neck of the mason jar and this sweet little gift is ready to give! I think it is SO cute … and darn! I just might have some Swedish fish leftover 😉
