CELEBRATE GRANDPARENT'S DAY WITH THIS CRAFT GIFT

A Creative Way to Make a Gift for Grandparent's Day on September 13

By Melissa Hucal September 7, 2015
Grandparent's Day is this Sunday, September 13th. If you’re still looking for a gift that you can give to grandpa or grandma, we’ve got a solution that doesn’t cost much, is easy to assemble and is fun to both give and receive.

Let grandparents know how you feel about him with a “Nuts About You grandma, grandpa or grandparents” jar.

You’ll need:
  • A clean, glass jar (we used a gravy jar that we removed the label from and washed/dried thoroughly
  • Paint & paintbrush (any color – this is for the jar lid)
  • Letter stickers (any style and color in a size that is proportional to the jar you are using)
  • Filler Snack – cashews, peanuts, mixed nuts, candy, chocolate … whatever is your grandparents favorite snack.
The steps:
  1. If necessary, clean your jar well and remove any labels.
  2. Paint the lid of the jar in the color of your choice. This is mostly necessary if you are recycling a jar from a kitchen product. Let the lid dry completely.
  3. With your stickers or cut out letters from magazines, spell our “Nuts About You ________” on the front of the jar. 
  4. Fill the jar with the snack filler like nuts.
Present the gift to your grandparent to let him know how crazy you are about them!
