D.I.Y. 41 Reasons Why I Love You Jar



This D.I.Y. project is super fun to make, I really enjoyed making it, and the person I gave it to thought it was very heart felt too! I made this for my Mom's 41st Birthday, (that is why I made 41 reasons) my Mom really liked it. It wasn't that hard coming up with reasons, if you really love the person you can think of plenty of reason of why you love them. As I briefly mentioned I did 41 reasons because my Mom was turning 41, but you can do however many numbers you want. I filled mine with Lindt chocolates because I thought my jar was a bit empty alone, plus they are her favorite chocolates. 

What you will need:
  • A clear jar
  • Marker, pencil crayons, and pencils
  • Paper
  • Chocolates (Optional)
  • Tape
  • Bow (Optional) 
Cut up pieces of paper write on them 1 reason why you love them, fold them up so when the person opens it it will be a surprise. Double-check that you have the correct number of reasons you want in your jar, put a few of the reasons in, then some chocolates, then some reasons, and chocolates basically just alternate reasons and then chocolates until it is fill to the top. I put a label on the jar saying "41 reasons why I love you"   taped it on and I was set to go. I also put a little personal message at the back and popped a bow on top to make it look pretty.

My Mom really enjoyed reading each little reason and knew that I had put a lot of thought into the reasons, while writing the reasons make sure to add some funny ones, I did that and I thought it added a bit of character to my jar. Voila, your quick and easy birthday present.
