Yes, it is time for another collaboration with my friend Carly Toffle – a fabulous and fun BAKER! This time, we get together to create a super cute Rainbow Cookie Gift Jar DIY. We love DIY Gift Box ideas. This Gift Jar idea is inspired by Kawaii and the Shopkins Kooky character. Soooo cute and simple, but utterly adorable. Don’t you think? Before you do **anything** You must check out this super duper EASY method for removing stick labels from a glass jar!!! Natural, genius and easy!
I think these gift jars would make a GREAT PTA fundraising idea – either at the Christmas or Summer fairs. They also make an adorable gift to a friend! Here we have more gift ideas kids can make and sell…
Rainbow Cookie Jar – Materials:
- an empty jar – a large one is better!

Very cute! I was wondering if you could share a printable template to make the eyes for the jars? That’s a great gift!

Hi,
I can’t find the written recipe for the Shopkins rainbow cookies with amounts and instructions to put on the card. The video doesn’t give quantities, where can I find it please? The Carly Toffle website doesn’t seem to be up and running.
Thanks
Red Ted Art says
Oh I am not sure what happened there 🙁 I will ask her if she has closed it down.
