How to Make Jam Party Favors

Add a traditional Southern touch to your summer soiree with jarred jam party favors. For this project you'll need: jars of jam; 1/4 yard of fabric; hemp cord or twine; cardstock; small hole punch; and scissors.

If you're making jam from scratch, fill the jars and seal tightly. If the jam is store-bought, peel labels off jars.

Cut 1 1/2 x 1 1/2-inch squares out of cardstock paper. Print or handwrite initials or "thank you" message on each square. Use the hole punch to make a hole in the top left corner of each square.

For a 2-inch lid, cut a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2-inch square of fabric. Since lid sizes will vary, dimensions of fabric squares may need to be slightly larger or smaller. For each jar, cut a 1-foot-long piece of twine.
