Now lets get started -- its really easy to put these together as long as you have a 1" and a 2" circle punch. If you dont have the punches, you can purchase them from Michaels, Hobby Lobby (use a 40% off coupon) or com. You may use white cardstock if you like for printing, but the photo paper produces much more vivid colors and professional looking results.

FREE Merry Christmas Tags and Gift Idea

FREE Merry Christmas Tags and Gift Idea


Pin It

Over the weekend I was busy finishing up gift projects for neighbors, friends, and my kids teachers and friends. Always on the lookout for fun, homemade gift ideas, I sometimes make my own Chex Mix in large batches to give away at the holidays. With the baking involved in making Chex Mix, however, it was going to take a bit more time than I had to give this year. 

Instead, I came up with a new, no-bake version that actually turned out really yummy. I packaged the mix into quart size mason jars and used Amandas Parties To Gos latest FREEBIE MERRY CHRISTMAS TAGS to make stickers for the front of the jars. You can grab the FREEBIE HERE.


The freebie set includes a page of 2" circles and a page of 3" circles. You may use circle craft punches to punch the designs out or you may carefully cut with scissors if you dont have access to the punches.

Print these onto 8.5"x11" full sheet adhesive paper. I like glossy sheets but you can find Avery adhesive paper at just about any office store. After printing, cut close to the designs with scissors and then punch each one out with your circle craft punch.

Once youve got your labels printed and cut, its time to make your
No-Bake Chocolate Chex Mix.

SUPPLIES:
- Chex Mix Muddy Buddies (I found large size bags at Sams Club)
- Box of Chocolate Chex cereal (I found mine at Walmart)
- Bag of Mini Pretzel Twists
- Bag of Christmas M&Ms

I LOVE that you can find Muddy Buddies already made up this time of year. If you cant find the mixture, here is a recipe for this part of the mix: MUDDY BUDDY RECIPE


Pour the contents of all your store bought ingredients into
two large bowls and mix together.

TO MAKE THE JARS:
1. Use Quart size mason jars. I found a dozen at Walmart for about $11. Fill each jar with your Chocolate Chex Mix
2. Place the circle lid on the top of the jar
3. Cut circles from a Christmas fabric approximately 5 1/4" in diameter. Use pinking shears for a fun edging if you have a pair. Screw on the jar lid over the fabric circle.
4. Using hot glue, adhere an approximately 3/4" wide ribbon to the side of the jar lid.
5. Wrap some red & white bakers twine around the jar lid a few times and tie into a bow.
6. Add a candy cane under the bow for a sweet embellishment.

You can make jars and jars of these in just a few hours.
No excuses.... go spread some cheer through the neighborhood!
