Moving on, I recently bought these cute little jars. They're plastic and only about 3" high.
Perfect for making cute little gifts for Valentines Day.
I cut the heart for the lid and the words for the front of the jar on my Cricut machine. I stuffed some tissue paper inside so the words would show up better and also to partially fill the jar so that I didn't have to fill it completely with the Hershey kisses. I'm cheap and since I'm doing several of these I wanted the bag of kisses to stretch.
I have some different sayings to put on these so they won't all be exactly alike. When I do more I'll post another picture.

I love it! Simple and striking.
That's cute
Very cute! I would fill mine with Kisses.
These are so cute and make me wish we had a dollar store nearby ... likely a good idea that we don't have one or I'd accumulate more stuff. I really like those wee mason jars.
The Dollar Tree is the new five-and-dime. Woolworth's had stuff you could find nowhere else, and these dollar stores fill a real niche.
these are adorable, for some reason tiny anything appeals to me. glad you said 3 inches tall, that helps. not only good for candy but would be adorable as a decoration....you could put just about anything on a jar or in the little jar for a decoration. had not thought about the Dollar Tree having a run on things.
Love the Dollar tree! I made a mirror a few years ago with 4 8x10 mirrors from there. I love it and got lots of complements on it!
I think the Dollar Tree is FULL of treasures! I like what you find there to make cute things out of. These are so cute!!
Most adorable. You are so talented.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
That is so cute...and whoever gets it could store treasures in it after the candy is gone, or cut a slit in the lid and have a piggy bank.
Great project Ann, and I do LOVE the dollar stores. We have quite a few around here, not far inbetween each either. I shop at them quite a lot actually. Many many good artsy things.
It is so pretty! What a great gift it would make, looking more expensive than it really was! I LOVE dollar Tree and go there frequently.
CheerfulMonk, thanks
Anni, thank you
Carol I may keep one for myself and mine will be full of kisses instead of half tissue paper...lol
Cynthia I remember Woolworths and would go there often with my mom
Lin, I agree, I find treasures all the time.
Sandee thank you
Suzyb thanks. I'm a dollar store addict...lol I love that they stock a lot of crafty items.
Ginny thanks. I think this is actually a regular item of theirs so I'll be able to make some more for Easter and any other holiday or occasion I can think of. I love Dollar Tree too. Some are better than others and the one closest to me is probably the least favorite but it will do.
They're cute!!
Finally I looked up about your Dollar Tree. It seemed similar to many of our stores that feature lots of cheap things, basically made in an Asian country but then I noted that some of your stores sell food/snacks. Ours certainly don't...but they have many oddments like the jars you found...
I've a few local ones including one at the bus station, who if you buy more than around $10 worth, you get free wrapped sweets. http://www.joyfulgiftnmore.co.nz/
And clever, lovely craft, Ann.

That's a cute gift. I need to go and see what they have!
