DIY Love Notes Jar
Valentine’s Day has come and gone and before I post about my actual day, I wanted to share with you one of the gifts that I made my boyfriend this year. I called it a jar full of love notes, and basically what that is, is strips of paper folded up in a jar that say cute or romantic things. Currently many of you know we are in a long distance relationship so I thought whats a better idea then giving my boyfriend a reminder when needed just how much I love him.
This was quite possibly the easiest present I have ever made and could easily be transformed into different holidays/birthdays/anniversaries as well.
Step 1:
Get a jar. I used a mason jar I had lying around the house. Any size will work.
Step 2:
Figure out what you want to write and start typing.
Step 3:
Create a note for the outside of your jar.
Step 4:
Cut up your notes, fold them up inside your jar. Tie a ribbon around your jar and attach note.
As you can see this was SUPER easy and now that Valentine’s Day is over I can share it with you all. Truth be told my boyfriend liked this gift the best out of the two I gave him. Following your heart is always a good thing! I hope your Valentine’s Day was great! Tell us what you did or what you received in the comments below!
Cheers!
xoxo Lindsay

This is the sweetest thing!! Everybody has days when they’re feeling a little down or a little alone and how perfect that he can pull out one of these for an instant pick-me-up and smile. How thoughtful! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Aw. You are so lucky! This would make a great gift. Or you could do one for yourself listing a bunch of good things that happened to you and make it a Gratitude Jar! 🙂

This is so cute! My husband and I used to write each other notes in our lunchboxes, and we’re trying to start doing that again. This would be such a cute way for us to write notes, and I could hide it in his office to open later.
