Easy Easter Favors Using Baby Food Jars

Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Silhouette of America.

Easter is just around the corner! Do you host a big Easter egg hunt at your house or do you gather with friends and family after church? I’m sharing some Easy Easter Favors Using Baby Food Jars. Hide with the eggs or simply give them out to your guests.

These favors took no time at all using the Print and Cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo.

Easter Favors Using Recycled Baby Food Jars!

These favors are super easy to make. Even if you don’t have a Silhouette you can still fill baby food jars with pastel dinner mints and decorate the lids with ribbon and a little raffia.

Cute and inexpensive. You can’t beat that!

EASY EASTER FAVORS!

Speciality Paper

Besides making stencils, using the print and cut feature on my Silhouette is my next favorite thing! It is so easy to design and make adorable labels and paper decorations for parties and events. Silhouette has a ton of fabulous specialty paper on sale right now. I’ve used all three of the ones in the picture and they are all great! I keep them all in stock. For this project I used the basic white adhesive paper.

To use the print and cut feature, you first want to create your label design. I used a combination of a few free downloads I’ve collected over the years (don’t forget to download them every Tuesday!). Like this Happy Easter Sign and this Lotus Flower (can’t find in store anymore). Then I added a scalloped boarder.

After you finish your design, you want to make sure you select all and then click ‘no cut’. This way you will just be printing the graphic and not cutting each individual piece.

*Note: I added a basic circle around the design and set this shape to cut.

Then, you need to get your page all set up. Change the page settings to 8X10 and then make sure you click “show registration marks”. This is what allows the machine to read where to cut on the paper.

Feed the adhesive paper into your home printer. Print. Then place it onto the cutting mat.

When cutting the design, click ‘detect registration marks’ and then click continue and the machine will do the rest.

Now fill and decorate your jars and you are set!

    I always feel so guilty just throwing the baby food jars. I think at least 10 times a week, “What can I do with these?” GREAT idea. Nice work, Taryn:)

    Very cute – I love baby food jars just because they are so small and you can fill them and not spend a ton of money filling them haha! Love the way you decorated them

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy.
