Mason Jar Candy Bouquet

To make your own candy bouquet mason jar gift, you’ll need a few supplies from the dollar store. And after you put this sweet valentine craft together, you can give this awesome Valentine’s Day gift in a jar to a variety of different people, including:

• Your kids’ teachers, coaches, or principals
• Friends and family members
• Co-workers

• Service providers, like your hair dresser or house cleaner

With so many different people to give this fun gift to, you may need to make a few! Luckily, my printable set of gift tags comes with two cards on one sheet! To make your DIY candy bouquet, you’ll just need a few craft supplies, including:

• Mason jar: Any mason jar will work for this craft. I used a pint sized mason jar to hold all the flowers. But you can use any size jar, depending on how much many flowers you plan to add to your bouquet.
• Flowers: To make my bouquet, I grabbed a few floral stems from the dollar store. I used pink and white flowers to make this gift. When selecting your own flowers, make sure to look for blooms with an open space in the center to make it easier to add your chocolate pieces.
• Heart shaped candy: Add a sweet treat to your flower bouquet with the help of some heart shaped candy. I got these from the dollar store, as well!
• Floral foam and paper shreds: To keep the flowers in place, I used a piece of floral foam inside my mason jar. Then, I covered the floral foam with some red paper shreds from the party section of Dollar Tree.
• Printable gift tags: Keep scrolling to see how to get your free printable gift tags for your mason jar gift.
• Cardstock: Print your gift tags on white cardstock to ensure they look amazing on each of your gifts. I suggest using 60 lb cardstick when making your own gift tags at home.
• Ribbon: Add a pop of color or pattern to the top of your gif in a jar with the help of some ribbon. I used some plain pink ribbon to match the color of my flowers.

How to Make a Mason Jar Candy Bouquet

Now that your gift tags are ready to go, it’s time to start making your bouquet. Keep reading to see how to add some sweet treats to your Valentine’s Day flowers.

Start by getting your flowers ready to go. First, trim each stem off the larger bouquet. Then, bend the the top of the stem to make each flower face forward.

After that, open up the petals to clear a space in the center of the flower for your candy piece. Then, add some hot glue to the center of the flower. Press the piece of candy into the glue and hold it in place until the glue dries.

Next, grab your mason jar and trim the floral foam to fit inside the jar. It shouldn’t fill the entire jar because you’ll need some space around the sides to add the paper shreds to cover the foam from view.

Press the paper shreds into the jar, all around the floral foam. Continue adding the paper shreds until the jar is full and the foam is completely covered.

After that, you can add your candy flowers to the jar. Press the stems into the floral foam to hold them in place and arrange the flowers by height around your jar.

After that, you can fill in some blank spaces around the flowers with foam heart picks to fill out the bouquet.

When you’re finished filling your jar with flowers, the next step is to add your gift tag. Start by using a hole punch to place a hole in the top of the tag. Then, attach the tag to the jar with a piece of ribbon.

Valentine Candy Bouquet Ideas

Flowers and candy hearts are an adorable way to fill up your jars. But they’re not the only option when it comes to making this valentine gift. Try these other Dollar Tree valentine craft ideas as you’re putting your own presents together.

• Fill the jar with candy. Instead of paper shreds, try filling your jar with candy to cover the floral foam! You can grab extra candy hearts to decorate the inside of the jar or add another type of small candy, like M&Ms.
• Use different candy. These fudge hearts are the perfect flower filler! But you could replace them with any small, wrapped candy, like fun sized candy bars, Ferrero Rocher, Dove candy, Reese’s hearts, Hershey’s Kisses, or Hershey’s hearts.
• Fill a vase. Mason jars are a great option for making a bouquet! But you can also use a traditional flower vase to create this gift idea.
• Make it for any occasion. While this candy bouquet is styled for Valentine’s Day, it’s a very versatile gift! You can change up the colors and candy to make this present for any occasion, including Mother’s Day or birthdays!
