We love you to pieces!

I'd like to share a simple little craft I did for each of the dads in my life (and my kids' lives) — my husband, my dad, and my father-in-law.
Here are the materials I used:


  • Three 1-quart "cracker" jars from Walmart (I think they were about $4 a piece, but you could probably find something similar at the dollar store)
  • Reese's Pieces candies (I ended up needing about twice as much as what you see pictured here to fill all three jars)
  • Brown ribbon
  • Scotch tape
  • This awesome free printable, found on Pinterest (which is where this idea came from, of course!)
And here's the finished product:


The process is pretty self-explanatory. I just dumped the candy into each jar, stuck some brown ribbon around the outside (using simple Scotch tape), and then taped on the little tags that I printed and cut out. And voila!

One for Daddy (Ryan)...


One for Grandpa (Ryan's dad)...


And one for Papa (my dad)...
(There wasn't a "papa" option on the free printable sheet, so I just went with this generic one for him.)


All three of these men have a bit of a sweet tooth, so I think they are going to love them! Happy Father's Day, everyone!
