Do you love gifts in a jar? They are fun both to create and to receive. Gift in a jar for someone who crochets can inlude many small handy items. I recently discovered the joy of putting together crochet-themed gifts in jars, and it’s a delightful way to show your appreciation for your crocheter friends or family. We’ll explore some creative and thoughtful ideas for crafting the perfect crochet gifts in a jar. You can also watch the video where I’m filling the jar.

Selecting the jar

The first step in creating a crochet gift in a jar is finding the perfect jar. You can often find unique and charming jars at thrift stores or local charity shops, just like I did. See the page image. Those shops may have jars also from former decades. But if you prefer a new one, most homeware stores and supermarkets sell them. Also some vases can be the right shape.

Jar top

Make a doily for the jar top or find one at a charity shop. You can also cut out a circle out of Chrismtas or other pretty fabric and tie with a ribbon. The third suggestion for the top I have on the video is more unusual: use antislip netting! That way your friend can use the top to open bottles and jars easily. I have a separate video about making a bottle/jar opener.

The ribbon that ties up the jar in the page image is my favourite way of crocheting a cord. See instructions here!
