1. Start by trimming a wide strip of fabric to fit around the jar.  Use pinking shears on both long edges of fabric to form decorative borders.  Wrap fabric around jar, securing with fabric glue.
2. Trim brown ribbon to fit around jar – glue in place over fabric.
3. Punch gingerbread men and trees using Fiskars new holiday squeeze punches – adhere to ribbon using foam adhesive.  Add rhinestones for extra sparkle.
4. Cut strip of red fabric using pinking shears on either side and tie to handle on lid.
5. Punch 2 holly shapes using the new Fiskars Happy Holly Days squeeze punch.  Glue to top where fabric is tied.  Add button “berry”.

6. Trim piece of Cloud 9 Design holiday paper to use as tag, using corner rounder on top 2 corners, and pinking scissors along bottom edge.  Add strip of coordinating brown polka Heidi Grace paper, then “enjoy” with red alphabet stickers, and gingerbread man, and tie to handle with ribbon.
