Reindeer Mason Jar Gift
Do you need a quick and easy, adorable homemade Christmas gift idea? This Reindeer Mason Jar Gift is incredibly easy to make in just minutes with a few affordable supplies from Dollar Tree. If you’re shopping for supplies at Dollar Tree, you might want to grab a Santa Hat too—you can use it for my Santa Mason Jar Gift project! It’s another quick and easy craft you’ll love. I’ve always loved the heartfelt touch of homemade gifts—they’re not only fun to make, but they add that personal touch to your holiday giving.
When my kids were little we spent countless December afternoons together, having fun creating teachers gifts, and gifts for grandparents. Christmas projects like this always bring back all those warm memories. There’s something so special about giving handmade gifts during the holidays, especially if they’re made by little hands!
This Reindeer Mason Jar Gift is the perfect gift for teachers, neighbors, for kids to give to grandparents or even a fun addition to your kids stockings All you need is a quick trip to the Dollar Tree for a reindeer antler headband, a mason jar and some red ribbon or felt (if it’s not included with the headband) and you’re ready to get started. To make your gift even more festive, I’ve designed a free ” North Pole Nibbles” gift tag for you to print out and add to your gift. Just attach it with your favorite Christmas twine or ribbon to complete the project.
You can customize what goes inside the jar to match the recipients taste. Chocolate anything will do! Who doesn’t love receiving chocolate right?! Whether you fill it with chocolate almonds, malt balls, or chocolate dipped pretzels, this gift is sure to bring a smile to the face of the person receiving it. So lets gather some supplies, call in the kids to help, and get creating some fun Reindeer Mason Jar Gifts!

Reindeer Mason Jar Gift
What You’ll Need
- mason jar
- brown candies (chocolate almonds, malt balls, chocolate peanuts)
- felt antlers (from a Dollar Tree headband)
- googly eyes
- red pom pom
- glue gun
- scissors
- Christmas twine
- free printable gift tag
What To Do
Step 1
Begin by cutting the antlers and bells from the headband and set them aside for later.
Step 2
With the leftover red fleece, cut a long strip roughly 1 inch wide to go around the circumference of the lid. Put a strip of hot glue down the center of the fleece, and begin folding each side to the middle to create a long strip approximately 1/2 inch wide. This will be glued around the outer side of the canning lid. You could also use some red ribbon or felt to make things even easier.
Step 3
Attach the antlers to either side of the jar lid using a glue gun, ensuring they’re secure and evenly positioned. Next, glue the jingle bells in a neat row between the antlers for a festive touch. Finish by adding a pair of googly eyes just below the lid and a bright red pom-pom as the nose to bring your adorable reindeer to life!
Step 4
Now it’s time to fill the mason jar with some chocolaty treats. This could be malt balls, chocolate almonds or peanuts, or even chocolate dipped pretzels. Then secure the lid with the reindeer antlers.
Step 5
Add the finishing touch by tying a ribbon around the jar with some Christmas twine, then attach the free printable gift tag.
How cute is this Reindeer Mason Jar Gift! It’s festive, fun and absolutely perfect for a last minute teacher gift, stocking stuffer, or sweet surprise for a neighbor.
