What I love about this mini bar in a jar gift is how easy this gift is to make. And how easy it is to customize! In fact, there are just a few craft supplies you’ll need to put this simple gift together:
- Printable gift tag: Keep reading to see how to get your free printable Mini Bar in a Jar gift tags to decorate your jarred gift.
- Filler: Add a little bit of decoration to the inside of your jar with the help of a filler material. Keep reading to see what type of filler I used, along with some other filler suggestions you could add to your own jar.
- Pint jars: I suggest using wide-mouth mason jars to put this gift together. The larger opening on the top makes it easy to put your mini liquor bottles inside.
- Ribbon: Attach the tag to your jar with a piece of ribbon or simply tie a bow around the top of the lid to decorate the mason jar.
Printable Bar in a Jar Label
Before you can start putting this quick gift together, you’ll need to grab my free printable bar in a jar label.
To make your own bar in a jar gift, you’ll need to print out my free gift tags. To get your own, simply subscribe to my email list, print them out on cardstock, and attach them to the top of the jar.

After downloading your printable tags, print them out on white cardstock and cut the tags out around the outer border. After that, there are two ways you can use them to decorate your jarred gift:
- Grab a hole punch to put a hole in the top of the tag. After that, just thread a piece of ribbon or twine through the hole and attach the tag to the top of your jar with a bow.
- Place a piece of tape on the back of the jar and press it onto the lid. Then, place the lid ring on top and screw the lid in place after filling the jar.
How to Package a Mini Bar in a Jar
Since this easy gift idea uses prepackaged ingredients, it’s so easy to put together! All you have to do is fill your jars, then decorate your mason jar gift!
Now, you could simply place a few mini liquor bottles inside the jar and be done. But where’s the fun in that?
Add a little bit of festiveness to the inside of your mason jar gift with the help of some filler material. I filled the bottom of the jar with some confetti I found at Wal-Mart in the craft section. But that’s not the only thing you can use to add some color and texture to your jarred gift. You could also use these filler materials to decorate the inside of your jar:
- Paper shreds
- Tissue paper
- Small candy, like M&Ms
- Mini foam balls
- Small stones or gems
- Easter grass
- Shredded newspaper
Whatever filler you decide to use, add a small amount just in the bottom of the jar, making sure there’s enough room for your mini bottles to stand upright.
Then, place three bottles into the jar. As you’re placing the bottles inside the jar, make sure the labels are facing outward so everyone can see what type of alcohol they’re getting!
After that, the only thing left to do is put the lid on top! If you’re planning on attaching the gift tag to the top of the jar, like I did, then place the tag on top first. Then, you can screw the lid ring in place and decorate the outside of the jar with some ribbon.
Otherwise, place the lid on top of the jar first. Then, attach the tab with the ribbon around the outside of the lid to finish decorating your gift.

Throw in some garnishes. Depending on the type of mixers you add to your jars, you could also include some garnishes in your drink jars. Add a small lime, some salt for the rim, or a couple of cocktail umbrellas for a quick and easy addition to your mini bar in a jar gift.
